It's also not the process that's been described several times. Seeing as he measured current draw incorrectly once already, I was interested how he concluded the cells were dead. Maybe they're not dead and the battery he has in it now is barely able to keep up with the draw on his system.
I've kind of gave up on this one already. You outline a process for some to do more than once, so that you can help them, and results never returned.

Why keep begging for a number?

So another thread doesn't go to the wayside without results or a solution, again. There's tons of them. It makes it very frustrating trying to troubleshoot an issue when all you find are open-ended threads. Then you make your own only to get pointed/linked to those open-ended threads you've already searched with no answers.

Dude, me and other posters have outlined how to test his battery several times across two threads he has posted on the same subject!

I understand what you are saying, but you can't just beg someone for numbers if they seem unwilling to give them.

Umm...I didn't beg for anything and nowhere has he seemed unwilling to give information.

He posted his diagnosis and I asked for his diagnostic process, then enter you turning this into something different.

Give the guy some time to respond before saying he won't.

He chalked it up as "bad batteries" with no explanation. I doubt we are going to get any test results from this.

I hope we do!

HOW did you diagnose that you had three bad optima batteries? What test did you do?

Better?
