Default Cordless Screwdriver, How to Test: Dead Battery or Charger?

Ed,
Thanks for the advice.
With a warm battery fresh out of the charger, I get a reading on it...of
pretty much nothing.
One the other hand, when I put the probes on the charger contacts, I get a
reading of about 1.5V. I'm not sure what the charger should be reading: so,
is this a dead charger, or a dead battery, or possibly both? Meter's fine ;-)
Thanks.

I do have a decent
multimeter , jI'm ust not sure how to go about the diagnostic testing.
Thanks a bunch for any guidance.


Put the lead on to the batter and take a reading. Put the leads on the
charger contacts and take a reading.

If you have a problem doing that, put the meter for sale on eBay.
