I had the PB2400c running about 1h 45 min under quite some load - compiling kernels twice :). I found that adjusting the screen backlight to lowest level makes the battery last quite a bit longer. I haven't touched my pb for quite some time now (and the battery is currently dead-on), so I'm afraid I can't help you with pmud data, there. However: the pb2400 battery is a Li-Ion accu, which is said to have no memory-effect, so it *should* not be necessary to fully decharge and then re-charge the bat. but it *might* help :) I would not recommend trying to "repair" the battery, as it is mainly a chemical compound and the skills required are more in the plastic molding / chemical compound department than in electronics wiring. have fun, Philipp kaeser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
