John, I have never had a bad one and have done a large number of upgrades using them. I am on board with you with the PS2 3V boards. I am a huge fan of that board and have many. Up until about three years ago I still had several 5V boards running around on the layout and now I am down to two GG-1 and my NYC Niagara. I want to keep the Niagara as it has the big motor in it. I Get to see many dead 5V engines and the people will always say the white battery looked good. Yes, the old white battery is very pretty and looks great. Myself, I am old school and use my Fluke meter to tell me if it is good or not. That has never lied to me.
