Tom,
Yes apparently it's shorted internally or in one of the plugs,, It's going in the round file either way



You know this particular problem I'm sure is a fluke, the other one on ignition is fine, what look to be the same exact ones I bought from a different vendor seem to test out fine too so far

This is just something to keep an eye on so you don't head to the field with a low or dead battery
I check my batteries before every flight so I don't feel this caused a dangerous situation

Just now I've run down a brand new battery to dead dead twice,, I'm sure not happy about that at all.
