    upon charging one of my 9.6v batts. when just charged and switched to trickle i noticed that one of the cells remained cold when all the others were warm.so i take it that this cell is knackerd ye?
    the cell thats cold is the bottom cell with the negitave wire attached that runs to the connector.
    so id like to know if this battery is now usless or,A) do i now have an 8.4v
    B) do i remove this cell and re-attach the wire to give me an 8.4 or,C) in its present state can it be used as an emergency back up.
    i think because of its location removing the cell would be best but just want someone to put me straight and let me know of anything i should be aware of if i do attempt to remove the cell

    sorry guys ive just read avose thread below (whats wrong with my batteries) and think ive got some answers but if you wana add something here all the better

    It is pretty much the same thing, as you said.
    The only way to know for sure is to check your cell voltage and resistance. If it's far below nominal, it's shagged.

    You can, if you want, replace the cell with a new one of the same type to keep your 9.6V pack. You can also remove the cell from the pack and jump the gap where the cell used to be with some 18AWG wire, leaving you with an 8.4V.
    I wouldn't, however, leave it if you're using it. It's an imbalanced battery, as it stands, which isn't catastrophic but will reduce the life of the other cells.
