List,

I've just received a battery recharger, and have a couple of questions.

First, the rating on the back says "24V 1.04A". One of the Duo manual at
Apple says that you have to use the only the adapter that was made for
it, or something like that. At the office, I have an old adapter with
the 1.04A output, but at home, I have the newest, 1.5A one. Can I safely
use the recharger with the latest adapter revision?

I've tried to check if it was working. I have a BTI Type IV battery
right now, so I removed it from my Duo and put it in the recharger.
However, nothing happened. There is a little LED that, according to
Apple:

-No light: Either the recharger is not plugged in, the other battery is
being
charged (if you have two batteries in the recharger), or the battery is
defective. (If the light goes off during recharging, there is a problem
with
the battery.)
-Yellow: The battery is charging.
-Green: The battery is fully charged.
-Red: The charge does not recognize the type of battery inserted. If you
are
charging a replacement battery, follow the instructions that came with
it.

I know the battery isn't bad because it's about 2 weeks new, I almost
didn't use it, and it's powering my 2300c just fine. So, does that mean
that the recharger is faulty? If it couldn't recognize the type of
battery, I should get the red light, right?

What do you think?

-Laurent.
