What's so incredibly difficult to believe? How much time do you get on your batteries? Apologies. The way it read to me, I thought you were stating that you got 9-10 hours out of ONE of your new batteries. I would say 9-10 hours would be typical of any PowerBook running 3 new and one old battery. I get about 1.5-2 hours out of my 3 year old battery. If I could afford 3 new batteries for this Wallstreet, I could run 2 batteries at a time (one in each bay), and with good power management expect the same results I suppose. -makmac -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Lind BU500 for PPC?
Lind's Battery Utilities 500 (Deluxe) was my favorite of the three battery fixers (Apple IBR, EMMPathy, Lind BU500) since it was able to fix my 540c's battery the best (It fixed all but one error, while the others left many errors). I've been using EMMPathy 2.1. Now my battery is flaky, and I can't run BU500, since I have a PPC card in my 540c. Does anyone know of a hack or newer version that will run on my 540c?

Re[2]: Regina Aaron is out of the Office Today
TS So every time somebody sends an email to the list, we get her autoresponder? TS Am I the only one that finds this unacceptable??? No your aren't. Other lists I'm on would have unsubscribed her for this but contacting her first IMHO is a good step. She may just unsubscribe herself or turn it off.

Re: desktop in order (Desktop Printing)
Hi there, Just a note to the group to say thanks. I've just been away for a while (a week) and came back to find my inbox teeming with replys to my powerbook battery problem. Just to let you know... The emmpathy 2.1 programme combined with the intelligent battery updater did the trick. There's still errors, and the apple inteligent battery updater still refuses to recognise the batteries, but they now charge again and give me a good 3 hours running time. So thanks to all those who posted answers to the problems with the 540c battery problems, and thanks also to those who replied direct to me with copies of emmpathy. And to anyone else out there with the same problem, I found that I had to use the Apple Intelligent Battery Updater first (even though it gave an error) before Emmpathy could see the batttery the first time. After that it was just a matter of time while they charged. Of course, now I have a different problem. The batteries keep the thing going - even letting me restart, but they don't let me start without a power cable. Not the end of the world, but still. I suspect that it may have something to do with my pram. I am ordering a new pram now, and will install it and keep you all informed as to my success. Thanks again for all the help.
