I have 2 Riva batteries that behave BASICALLY the same way, with slight differences - obviously neither is what I would call working.
The first, after charging, if I screw it into an atty I hear a sizzle - the atty is activated. No light on the button. A moment later it cuts out. Then if I try to press the button I get a slow flash (not the fast flash as when the battery is dead).
The other gives me about a 3 second draw, maybe less, and then it, too, goes to a slow flash. It only does this with LR attys, however - normal ones don't get this behavior.
They both charge fine, and I can't find anything in the threads (I cleaned them really good just in case).
