Since my FX-Ion 14 led light has started seeming a little less bright than it was, I put a multimeter on it to test the Voltage (at least that's what I think i did - set the dial to the '20' position on what I think is the AC voltage section) and it reads 3.85 (this is after a couple of short - i.e. 2 hour - trips). I recall when i last did this with the old li-ion battery it read more around the 10.8 mark (but I don't know if the reading is the one I need, elctronics and physics were never good subjects for me).
Does anyone know that this would be the reason for the dimness on LEDs (I know they can get dimmer as the cell discharges).
Also can anyone suggest any additional uses of the multimeter to give any useful info on the state of the battery?
