Sounds like a bad battery. Two years ago I bought a VST battery for a Duo 2300 that exhibited similar symptoms. I was clueless at first, then I borrowed a voltmeter that gave me the most incredible voltage readings, and eventually I had it exchanged for another that worked the way it should be from the very beginning --close to two hours' working time with adequate power saving measures---. -- Jose Antonio Alvarez Dios e-mail addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-fax number (in the USA, handles voicemail too) 1 (419) 828-9794 fax number (in Spain) 34981597054 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
