It's worth noting that Battery Amnesia drains a battery *less* completely
than Apple's Battery Recondition. It does go farther than the normal Power
Manager safety-sleep, however, which may be what you're thinking of.
Battery Recondition actually hooks into the Power Manager and drains the
battery while still keeping the Duo alive from AC power, which is why it
needs the Duo plugged in. It basically goes as far as you can without
damaging a NiMH battery by 100% discharging it.
That different is also why only certain versions of Battery Recondition
work with certain Duos. For the original poster who was unable to run v1.5
on a 280c, try using 1.1 or 1.2 (which I believe are respectively on the
Battery Tools disk and 7.5.3 distribution from Apple - I can also mail them
to someone).
