PS. There was a sudden glut of PB 5300 batteries on the market about a year
ago, and even with one of these "new" batteries, as soon as you see the
warning I would save the doc you are currently working on and immediately put
the PB to sleep. The reserve power is not long, in my experience, especially
if you maxed out the RAM, or have a modem PC card in use, put it to sleep
immediately, then find the adapter and/or swap batteries.
