Don't know exactly, but if res is low between battery + contact and case and/or between battery + and - without battery inserted something could be fishy. Haven't checked, though and I'm not too much into electronics. It's just that slightly shifted (or suplus) board stand-offs can cause anything from small erratic currents up to board incineration. Your friend in measuring could be the diode-check setting if your multimeter has one (beep on very low res). If that's going off between the measuring points mentioned, the battery is likely shorted. -- Embedded Linux -- True multitasking!
