&gt; &gt; &gt; this evening I am going to get my voltmeter out and test my old
&gt; &gt; &gt; batteries and then test my &quot;new batteries&quot; to see how much juice they have.
&gt; &gt; &gt; I may have to borrow my father's lawn mower battery charger so I can charge
&gt; &gt; &gt; them up to see how much charge they will hold. I'm fairly certain that my
&gt; &gt; &gt; APC Smart-UPS 1000 is shot though.

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Those &quot;brand new&quot; batteries off of ebay are worn out. Go to
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Batteries
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Plus and buy really brand new ones. Take both sets of your old one
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; back
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to them. They will handle the recycling of them (the batteries are
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; taken
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; apart and the lead is extracted and made into more batteries.)
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; One of the biggest scams on EBay is &quot;new&quot; batteries for power
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; supplies.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The only way to tell is to do some serious charging circuit
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; monitoring
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; with manufacturing specs to compare with.
