I'll say here what I've said all along. They developed NiMH to replace NiCD becasue of the "memory" that NiCD's would hold. NiMH was not SUPPOSED to hold "memory" and most places will tell you that they don't. Frankly, I think thats a lot of bunk. Based on experience (servicing hundreds of different laptops) NiMH DOES hold "memory" not quite as bad as NiCD did, but it holds it nonetheless. I always tried to completely drain my NiMH batteries at least once every week or two to keep them fresh and operating at 100% efficiency. I know, I know... plenty of technical sources will tell you that they don't. But my experience shows different, and thats what I'll believe ;-) Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
