And what do you meassure? Not what it should be, but using the charger or a multimeter to see what voltage the battery kicks out atm.

[sean retro]

The battery meter on charger say 8.55v.
When I tried the multimeter it goes to fast and to load.

[maddox10]

8.55 is way to low. I wouldn't use that one anymore.

[sean retro]

Oh lovely, looks like I to put a new battery on the shopping list and the multimeter no longer wants to work, luck isn't with me today, still I had worst.

Also what the best method to throw away the old battery?

[maddox10]

Safely.
Drop it in a bucket with salt water for a night, then just dispose it.

[sean retro]

Just like that? Never thought salt water would do it, I always thought you could take it to the recycling centre since they can take batteries, cars battery etc.

[maddox10]

That is also an option.

What I usualy do is cut off the leads (cut wires one by one) , recycle the leads and plugs, and "remove" the battery after soaking it in salt water.
