Guys, turns out the mythical 2700 mAh parts are 2150's mismarked. My
supplier has apologised about that....ran a performance test with the 2150
and the "2700" batt...came out within a few minutes of each other. The good
news is that they ran 2H15M with minimal processor cycling (database sort,
repeat, reverse sort, etc.). The Sanyo cells seem to be the cheapest/best.
BTW, if you have a type 1, try one of the 12V celpaks for the RC cars. Found
a local salvage place with the 9.6V cells for $7 and charger....bought 3 to
update cells in my HTs (amateur radios). One couldn't accept the cells....so
I grabbed a Type 1 case and dumped the cells into it. Charges and runs
nicely! Not too bad for around $9!! (I used the 9.6V pak and added one more
row of cells from another pack I had cut up to get to 12V). Took around 20
minutes. Used the last 4 in the Sony PRO250 CD-ROM drive for the Duo.
I'll be in Canada (Montreal) for the next week or so, I'll get that list of
parts available out ASAP....honest!!...I'm NOT kidding!!.....Really!! (Busy
weeks, I WILL get it done...eventually).
Andrew
