I dare not say we have the same wife. But it seems that most of them
have many points in common. Must be a question of evolution and
heredity.
If you can, I promise nothing and will take no responsabilitie, keep
those dead batteries. It's like oysters, if you can open one, you can
open them all. Sometimes you have one that crashes, but you will have
nothing if you don't try.

More than once these after market batteries are made at the same
place, somewhere in the East, with the same machines, but the contents
are differend. I'm not even sure it are real LiH cells. It could verry
well be some sort of cheap NiCads.

Kind regards.

Cedric
