Refuse to invest in another battery for the 2nd phone until I know for

Any suggestions?

problem.

The position of the battery contacts prevent taking a voltage
measurement. *However, your suggestion did trigger a thought that
perhaps the battery wasn't pressing securely on the contacts. *So on

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO KEEP ME ON TASK !!!
