[ltp] Re: [Thinkpad] "Resetting" 600 Li-Ion Battery Cells

[James McKenzie]

Jim:

If I use a V-O-M to read the resistance of the battery I should read a 
complete open and no voltage.  I think I would read the same thing if 
overheat detector were to open the cell.  If this is not the case, 
please advise.
