Re: (ET) Replacing a single battery

[Jim Coate <jbc_lists_NO_REPLY coate org>]

Yes, much better to swap in a used battery to keep things going until 
time for a complete new pack. A single new battery in an old pack will 
behave differently from the rest and end up taking extra abuse so it may 
age faster than usual and not allow you to buy just 5 next year to 
complete the set.
