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. > Why the adapter doesn't work in your meter is a mystery. Ya, maybe my explanation of what happened might shed light.. J -- Justin F.
