Thank you for this highly informative post. I'm always
amazed at the answers found here.
I an going to try to replace the batteries inside the
casing, the next time I go to Radio Shack. I'm not
risking much and it may be fun. It looks like I can
modify a battery tray in one of my children's dead
toys to accept the batteries and it might fit back in
the casing. It's worth a try. Modular, convenient and
ecologically-friendly. I suppose that I stand a chance
of not being able to recharge them inside the
computer, by going this way, though.

yep, I've had similar results from two batteries
that i've tried to
recondition for my 170. I was quite surprised by the
spike at 5 mins
or so, but I decided it must be a feature of the
chemistry of these
batteries when they're on the way out. (unless it's
the rate of
discharge, but this is on Battery Amnesia, which I
think gives a
constant rate of discharge). I gave up and pulled
the cells from one.
They all held an initial charge, and I haven't had a
chance to check
them out past there. But yes, my guess is that your
battery is
probably u/s.
best wishes, and can I add to other peoples'
comments, that although
I'm only a (very) occasional contributor here, I
really enjoy the
spirit and tone of the discussion.
