That's what I originally thought as well. I figured that the lower wattage
on the M7883 would just take a LOT longer to recharge the battery, but until
I had a real 1400 AC adapter, I killed an old battery, a new (old stock)
battery, and a rebuilt one I made. Mobo mojo maybe? Can anyone explain why
this happens?

I want U to know I didn't believe a WORD of this comment... as I RAN (not
walked!) and replace the Duo 7783 adapter i had on my 1400c/183 with a
proper
one...!

:-D

Now, unfortunately, my sis and brother-in-law BOTH have Duo ac adapters on
their 1400s, so now I gotta get those replaced!

Anyone know why this is the case? Does this happen whenever you use a
lower-wattage ac adapter w/ a Powerbook? I thought the only drawback was
slower
recharge times, which I can certainly deal with...
