Jon,

I replaced the battery on Friday and all is good.
I did a autopsy on the removed battery and they are tabbed
together.

I was going to post then but got distracted.
(which happens often)  Phone calls, and other stuff.

Another interesting side note.  The battery was replaced
primarily due to age and the suspected system trouble
due to a power outage.  The system was new when I installed
in 2000.  That is 18 years.

I just checked the battery and the voltage is 3.826vdc
I realize that it has been sitting on my desk with no
actual load attached.

But still, I guess it was not a weak battery after all.
