> I'm a PB newbie. Just what is Emmpathy? Do I need it for my Duo 280? EMMpathy is a utility for fixing the EMM circuit on 500 series "intelligent" batteries, which is susceptible to corruption and can make the battery impossible to charge. EMMpathy's own documentation makes no mention of Duos and considering the Duos are an older line they use the earlier "dumb" battery packs and thus have no use for EMMpathy.
If your battery seems to hold very little charge, which is likely given its age, an app like BatteryAmnesia might be able to recondition the battery by removing the nicad "memory" effect over several software-controlled battery drain sequences. This helped out my g/f's PB150 battery a fair bit. Ben. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
