2400C battery internal configuration?
My 2400C battery was gutted by a previous owner, with no hide and a hair of a picture or diagram anywhere on where the wires go.
So, this might be a long shot, but does anyone have pictures, or know where all the wires go on the cells?
there are several wires. all are cut, cells are gone.

On the 3400c's lithium battery board, the black wire is the neg lead; red is the pos; the two white wires connect to tabs between the 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th (I think) cells - but either way go between +/-, and there's a yellow wire that goes to a positive lead.
On yours, I'd venture - purely as an opinion, that the black wire (left on top of the plastic in your picture, possibly) is the negative lead; the red one on the bottom right is the positive lead, the two whites go to tabs. I am not sure about those two-wire braided black ones on the left or the black and red leads on the right.
However, every battery I have seen - NiMH and lithium - thus far has a klixon thermistor (the black rectangle on two red leads on the 3400c battery), which it looks like yours could be missing, though I can't see behind the plastic or what the black thing is. (If that's the contacts I was going to say the leads might be connectors that are disconnected, but there should be five and I can see that the red and black leads appear separate.)
I realize this isn't what you wanted but I get the impression no documentation exists on this, so you'll need to find a dead battery to break open or someone who's done it. I kept notes on my breakdowns for that reason, but I don't have a 2400c.
(Would the EEPROM reset apply to any old battery board? Because despite getting it to recognize, I have not had success getting my 3400c battery to actually charge (or discharge). The NiMH rebuild was a little more successful.)
