james.wilson Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Might be worth checking the battery charging current, nominally 500mA or thereabouts. Also a current limiting resistor gone high value, look for burn marks around resistors in that area. id say a 500mA charge nominal is far from normal Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

charlie6 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 In thirty or more years my current readings have been in that region, not always, but more often than not. The reason for mentioning this is to ensure that the reading for the OP is not abnormally low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
