Another good test is charge up the battery, then set it aside for a few days. If the voltage drops quite a bit from the fully charged state - the battery is bad.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Some batteries have a smart BMS like the ones in drones. If that's the case the voltage will drop over a few days (Which is Normal).

Thanks.It is really helpful also your voice is clear and easy to understand.

[@ismaelmoe7407]

Awesome!! Thanks !!

[@AlexanderCornel]

Good to know!

[@laurapage9018]

There appear to be three contacts on the battery. Which two do you apply the probes to?

[@williamaungleyraud]

Hey I have the same Harbor Freight multimeter 😎👍

[@MiroAcronymity]

Your video made me want to finally get a multimeter. One thing to note: A voltage that is under the nominal voltage (say nominal is 7.2 and the reading is 6) also means the battery is bad, correct? It doesn't have to be 0.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hi there! I am glad you got one. If the battery is fully charged and the meter is reading only 6 volts instead of the nominal voltage, yes, you have a damaged battery pack.

@@MomentumProductions1992 thanks! My multimeter arrived yesterday and I'll be testing some batteries over the weekend.

My multi-tester has a "Battery Load Test" option that registers voltage but also shows a Good-Questionabe-Bad indication. One of my NP-Z100 batteries showed 7.6 volts, but a "questionable" status. When I put in on my charger, the charger doesn't even acknowledge it is connected? I guess it's done!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Try a different charger!

[@rghurst]

@@MomentumProductions1992 I actually tried three different chargers.
