You can try see how long the battery runs until it get between 7.0v and 6.5v. Most cell hangs around 3.7 volt for a better part of the run cycle. With two in series in the MS pack, that means about 7.4 volts. This may give you a better idea of the condition of your pack. I don't know at what volt should the MS red light exactly comes on, but at this stage I would not trust it.
Thanks for the reply.

I will charge it for a few hours and try it again. I'll check the voltage when the red light comes on, and then run for a while longer checking the voltage every so often.

BTW, I deleted my idea about running it off an adapter before you replied. I realized that it was a stupid idea.
