This is over the space of 3-4 months. Replacement battery was second hand so had been previously charged. 2 questions on this 1. Could I been doing anything wrong in terms of charging - leaving it plugged in over night or whatever for this to be happening ? or is it simply that I have reached the maximum number of recharges which I understand is 500 ? 2. I have taken the battery apart and there are 3 cells manufacured by Panasonic each giving off approx. 3.7v, in total 10.8v. Does anyone have any experiene in replacing these cells ? Do you have to use Lithium Ion ? Pardon my complete ignorance of things electrical but would I destroy the Libretto if I replace the cells with ones which give 12v output - 3.7v appear to be difficult to obtain ? What if I were to get a combination which gives less than 10.8v e.g. 9v - will the machine work ?
