First of all, thanks to everyone for the great information. I think I've got a great start, but have a few concerns.
My story...
A few weeks ago my wife's HCH started displaying the IMA light. After some light reading here, and on other sites, I purchased a Super Brain 989 charger (which likes to overheat and melt the banana plugs and case of the power supply.) I'm almost done with the charging/discharging, as well as recharging a week later. I've got a spreadsheet of the values, and am about ready to start evaluating which cells should go.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what constitutes a "bad" stick. I know that the batteries started life with a 6,500 mAh rating, although none really come close to that now. A quick list of my sticks once they stop increasing are (x1000 mAh): 5.1, 3.7, 4.5, 3.4, 5.3, 3.5, 4.3, 3.0, 4.3, 3.8, 3.0, 5.3, 2.4, 5.2, 4.7, 6.1, 3.6, 3.3, 3.2, and 5.4.
The few that I've recharged after sitting for a week have given readings in the range of 2,000-2,300 mAh after the charge, with one being down at 1,700.
Any tips on what is "acceptable"?
TIA,
Thomas
