I've got two Li-Ions batteries and one will give me about almost two hours and the other only about an hour to hour 15 minutes. At least once a month I try to completely discharge them all the way using them instead of the AC adapter and then let them charge back up. I got the PB3400 and the batteries used so I don't know how they were treated previously. The Li-Ion batteries are pricey new and I don't know if they really give any better performance than a standard NiCad. Can anyone comment on the differences?
Your PB might still have an internal modem but it won't be any faster than 33.6 and frequently they won't connect any better than 28.8 which might explain the PCMCIA modem, especially if it's a 56K. ....................................................................
