Here is a good strange for you. When I started the upgrade my battery was at 85%. When it finished and restarted, it was at 100%.
Since we are in Monsoon season here and thunderstorms can and do drop in at any minute, I made sure I had my battery mostly charged before I started just in case we should have a power failure. No thunder, no power failure, thank goodness.

The reason we insist on it being present is that it would be a very bad thing to lose all power in the middle of upgrading. Even if you lost AC power, the battery should take up the slack. But if it was possible to start the process without the AC plugged in, the battery might run out halfway through. We do try to build in extra safety where possible! Next time I upgrade a unit I will try pulling the power out halfway through and see what happens - as I say, it should complete fine. I'll let you know. regards, Andy. ---- Andrew Riden Software Development Engineer HumanWare Ltd. 11 Mary Muller Drive, Christchurch, New Zealand.
