Sounds promising, but again, I would worry that you might damage the Power Supply by trying to use a L-ion battery in a machine that wasn't designed for it... Not sure if just running off the battery would cause problems or not... Most likely the problems will come if you attempt to charge the battery in the 190.... L-ion, NiMh and NiCd batteries all have different methods / requirements for recharging... thus, one of the main differences in AC/Adapters and Power Supplies. (Note, when I say power Supply, I'm not talking about your AC/Adapter / Brick, I'm refering to the circuit board inside the machine...) Anyway, I'm not sure if it will damage the system or not. I'm thinking it may not damage it right away, but may become a problem long term??? Who knows, I've seen some power supply modules in certain models become very finicky and not last throuhg even the slightest change. On the other hand... it might run for a long time and you may never experience a problem. If you do try to charge that L-ion in the 190, I would be very curious to know how long the charge is good for. I wouldn't be surprised to see a decrease in overall battery life becasue of the different charging methods. (Does the original battery have the same number of cells as the L-ion?) I'm not sure I'd attempt running a L-ion battery in a PB that wasn't designed for it for the fear of damaging a circuit board which could be costly to replace or difficult to find. Thats just my $.02 Good luck with your experiment. Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
