Thinkpad 355,360, 750 -> Can use either dumb NiMH or the Intelligent Battery
Pack I. It will not take advantage of the special processor on
the Intellegent Battery Pack I.
Thinkpad 755 Cs/C -> Can use either the dumb NiMH or the Intelligent Battery
Pack I. It does take advantage of the Intelligent Battery Pack's
microprocessor.

Thinkpad 755 CV,CDV -> Can use either the Intelligent Battery Pack II, or
the new Litium Ion battery. It comes standard with the Intelligent

Thinkpad 755 CX -> Can use either the Intelligent Pattery Pack II, or

The quick charger for the Intelligent Battery Pack II just came out
about 2 months ago. The one for the dumb battery and for the Intellingent
Battery Pack I has been out for a while. I don't know about the
quick charger for the Litium Ion battery. I do know that it will not
work in the "Travel Quick Charger" that is sold for the TP 755CE.
