> Anyone know how smart the battery is, vs. the internal battery monitors in > the computer? I don't think there's anything in these Libretto batteries beyond just a basic level circuitry. For sure, they're not as nice as the Sony 505 series or higher round stick batteries which tell you down to the last minute how much charge they have in them. Sony did a nice job with their batteries and put in some smarts. Sadly, last I saw with poking around the DOS APM functions, there was only a basic % remaining charge reported from the BIOS from the Libretto batteries, so unless TOshiba is hiding something, there isn't anything inside. Of course, someone having taken apart a batteyr can tell us more whats in them besides the cell.s ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
