Welcome to TFP!

Two things come to mind. First, the test mode can sometimes report incorrect values if the unit was off or had turned on right before you took the test readings. If you put it in boost, and wait two minutes, and then get the test numbers you get more reliable results. Second, did you replace the cell cord when you replaced the cell? A bad cell cord, or bad connections on either end of the cell cord, could cause that problem.

I tested it in boost mode after 30min. and the cell cord was replaced with the cell a few months ago. I even check continuity from the black wire top left side of power board to center conector on cell plug and red wire.Is it possible that its working fine but not reading it?
