If they are OEM then they were made in the beginning of 1998 IIRC.
I suggest conditioning the packs. Drain, charge, drain, charge, enjoy.
I have a pack that the original owner bought in May 1997. It lasted 20-30 =
min. no matter how long I charged it. After the conditioning it now lasts =
12+ hours.

Now if only the fuel cells would be on the shelves already. :-)
