   When I hooked up my multi-meter, the meter never gave 1.35v when
using the CRIS adapter. It was a ways off. When I used that same
multi-meter on the cells alone, I got something like 1.55v or so..

   But I am stretching into dangerous territory with explaining why it
didn't work.

   Ya, maybe my explanation of what happened might shed light..
