More questions, and my $.02:
My multimeter has a milliamps up to 200mA, so I might have to go get an extra analog one, plus it won't even give me mA reading on a battery. My multimeter is a basic Radio Shack model, and it's digital.
Are the capacitors the same in all units, or is there a different revision with different capacitors?
I found a good way to open them that isn't too hard on the plastic: take a rubber mallet, and hammer the brick all the way around. Don't be too hard on it though, or you will chip the plastic. Just smack it at the seal where Ferrix used a vise, and you can crack it open! Be careful though, I damaged my work surface where I had to hammer the corners, so a concrete floor or block would be great here.
