Hi! I just joined this list, and have already learned lots. I bought a Duo 230 used that has a Type III battery. The control panel always says I have anywhere from 2-4 hours of battery life, but after 15 minutes or so, I get the warning message and the Duo puts itself to sleep. Is there any way to tell if my battery is really bad, and if so, is there any way to revive it? I have a Type I battery, but get the same behavior from it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Janice ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
