RE: (ET) charger problem

None of them have been charging.  The 3.8 is just the worst of the lot.  
Since the charger voltage is not too bad (44-46V is normal, but 42 should 
work), you need to find the open.  You can trickle up the 3.8 V battery to 
something reasonable, but it isn't the only problem.

Two quick checks:
1) One battery is at 3.8 volts, the rest at 5.9. Will this cause all not 
to 
charge?
2) Pack voltage does not change when charger is turned.
