Speaking of batteries
How does one go about testing to see if a second hand set of Ryobi
18v batteries are still "good"? These are the green ones, I am not sure right now what type they are (Lithium Ion, Ni-Cad, Auto-Cad, Alkaline, or Iron-Pyrite) but I am not sure if they need replacing or not. I got them, and the charger, and three tools at a thrift shop. "Guarenanteed not to rip, rot, rust bust or throw dust - thirty feet or thirty seconds provided the customer does not fool with them." {"Did you charge the batteries?" Of course I charged the batteries! "I told you not to fool with them!"(OTOH, could be that I was over expecting how much use I could get of a pair in the circ-saw cutting oak pallets.)
But anyway, testing procedures for batteries?
Or just bite the wax tadpole and get replacements?
