I have asked if it could go by >ship or whatever but not had a reply as yet (I think they are surplus >stock traders). Well I got 2 standard battery packs for my L50 sent from the US to me in Australia for $11USD by USPS Global Priority (it still took a month to get to me but that was at the height of the anthrax scares where the Sydney warehouse got shut down every 2 hours because someone found white powder somewhere) ... >Talking of that .. have we talked about the fact that all this old stock >seems to have surfaced .. or has it been there all the time and 'we' >have just surfaced? (I know I joined it the 'battery date lottery' but >no news of a prize yet?) ;-) I wouldn't worry about the shelf life of the unused battery ... its more the number of cycles that matter, AFAIK LiIon batteries hardly deteriorate in their new state. >Lasty, what is the 'real' running time on a 50CT with the std batt (no >extras except the mini port rep) and say with a medium 'hairy light >bulb"? I got 1 hour and 40 minutes or so off a new standard battery ... I can't quite remember the conditions I did the testing under but its in the archives somewhere ... I do recall I had the hairy lightbulb on high and was playing Winamp all the way through (so the CPU was actually working). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
