Greetings, I have noticed that someone posted some info Duo Batteries and getting them to charge. Here is my dilemma and I hope someone has a concrete answer for this: I have a 280c and noticed that my Type I battery shows charged in the powerstrip. I reconditioned it using Batt. Reconditioned 1.1 and it was on the screen saver for about 5 minutes. After that, I restarted the machine and it still showed charged (I have the adapter plugged into the duo along with a duo dock II at times)? When i try to boot up off the battery, I hear the famous start up sound and that's it, no dice. I picked up a Type III that shows no charge. I tried to recondition that battery and it reconditioned in a matter of one second, literally. I assume this is bad. But, I tried adjusting the copper settings in the duo, resetting the pram battery and leaving it unplugged for hours. Still, no dice. The machine works nice with the adapter, but I want to know if my type I is a goner, or if there is something else I'm not doing? I suspected that maybe I needed to charge it on a real battery charger instead of the adapter. Last thing, I don't know about the rest of you, but I got an e-mail from some guy on our list with the attachment happy99.exe. This is a PC virus. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
