Hi,
i have a triton 12v impact driver with a battery pack of 3 Samsung INR18650-15L in them. I have 2 batteries for it, they usually do 1 week for me with light/moderate usage. One of them now only do 1-2days and i want to replace the 3 batteries in the pack, but reading here i realized they might be 'reviveable' or maybe only 1 battery is actually bad from the 3. How could i test which one is good or bad, with no special charger etc.? i have a multimeter and automotive battery tester.

My second question is that if i could replace them with bigger capacity 18650s or can i mix them, are they fully compatible etc.? For instance the original batteries are 1500mAh with 18A discharge rate, but there are 3000mAh ones with 15A discharge rate or 2000mAh with 20A. Would these 'upgrades' working or stick with the original figures?
Thanks
