buying new 12v nicd charger

suggestion was made to test old batteries before putting into new charger. How do you test the old batteries. jbroc

Hi jbroc. You can use a voltmeter to test your old batteries. Even when discharged, they should read just a little above the battery's rating. For instance, if you have an 12V battery it should read about 13V on the voltmeter or so. If it reads properly, you probably have a good battery.
