So I just got a pack of these and craked the pack open, hit it with my volt meter and low and behold 2 out of the 6 batteries are stone dead. I'll try a 2 minute single cell charge to see if they come up, but me thinks I just got another 4 cell pak. Johnny isn't happy.

So heres the update: 2 minute 5 amp charge per the 2 dead cells, after 12 hours the leakdown voltage on both the bad cells is different. 1 cell although down a little looks like its saveable, the other cell, lets just say it now sits at .053 volts after sitting and had a off charge at 1.48 volts.

Some rather interesting reading of the instructions that come with the cells, from Trinity, they basically say sorry, tough luck for you, we accept no responsibility for nothing, faulty product, or injury when you use this product. So much for a replacement.
