The 5300 was originally designed to use LIon batteries but some of the prototypes and/or early production models had a slight problem with fire so they switched to NiMH and left it at that. While the 5300 could in theory work with LIon the system won't use them. A 3400 can however use a 5300 NiMH battery. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
