So the other day I checked the batteries in my Gladius. Two Energizer 123 primaries from the same batch, both dated 2018. Both measured 40% (I use an Ansmann Energy Check tester).
A couple of days later, the Gladius started giving me the double-blink low battery warning. Odd, as I hadn't used it much since checking the cells.
On re-checking them, one cell was still at 40%, but the other came up as 'Err', signifying a completely depleted cell (i.e. too low to even register as 0%).
The cells were installed as a pair, never used outside the Gladius. This particular Gladius does not have any parasitic drain issues - they've been in there for a few months without problems.
What could be going on ? Why would one cell drop to fully depleted with the other still at 40% ?
