OK, some more Duo battery musings: ONE: I have both a type 1 and 2 battery that I cannot get to work. I have even gone so far as draining the batteries using DC fans and LEDs down to about 2 V. However even after this, the batteries "claim" to be charged in about 15 min and hardly hold any current. When I try and recondition them, it sends my duodock into a crash-landing. Is there anything else I can try ? TWO: On a more positive note, I got my re-built type 3 battery back. A month or so ago I found a local place that could send out my Duo battery for re-building, using _2700_ mAh cells. I gave them a dead type 3 batt, and I got it back this week. It did not come back fully charged, so after about an hour or so of charging I ran my duo on it. Success ! I ran my Duo 280c for about 1.5 hours without letting the screen dim or the duo go to sleep, and I still had 50% battery life left. Is this good ? I told this place (www.batteryclinic.com) that I would tell the Duo list and see if anyone was interested. THREE: Who sells duo parameter RAM batteries ? I forgot, and have been unable to find anyplace to rebuild the old cells. thanks, Mad Dog ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
