Not twenty minutes ago I got my mini ZTS battery tester, and it won't give me a % on my old cells, of any type. Cells that should at least be around 20% get nothing. The indicator lights flash in their little sequence, it clicks, then nothing. Are my cells really that worn down?
 
Usually, this is an indication that the cells are very low. Try a new cell that you are sure is at full capacity just to make sure the ZTS is working.
 
You're right, the cells I was testing are very, very low. The biggest surprise came when I tested the cells in my L4. They were at 20%, but they still power up the light at near full brightness. Thanks for the quick reply, I'm going to go testing.
