Hi Larry, What sort of info are looking for? Are you saying that you physically opened the battery pack? (Folks at home - don't try that!) All notebook batteries are consumable items. They use chemicals that break down over time and use. In my experience, the original batteries may last about three years, new replacement batteries may last about two years, based on normal usage. Even though the lights and power meter software may show charges up to 100%, a very used battery may not hold or dispense a supposedly full charge.

I opened the battery box and checked the actual batteries, and they are fine. 16 volts and high current, at least 2 amps available. Can anyone explain more about this battery assembly? thanks, larry - -- Schneider TV & Electronic Inc. 5415 N. Wooster ave.
