Default RE: Battery condition?

I recently received some 5g servos from HK. I locked the servo arms with my hand and measured the current while driving the servo with a servo tester. That little 5g servo was drawing a current of 0.5A while it was locked (stalled)!

After the test I performed, I also believe that a stalled servo is really, really bad news for any battery.
