You are correct that if a ni cad battery has cells of differing quality that you will experience trouble. My understanding is that this is not the memory effect, but rather the fact that the good cells will actually reverse and begin to discharge, while the inferior cells are still charging up. This is why the quality of a battery pack is so important. I don't doubt that IBM did a pretty good job with theirs. They'd be crazy to put an expensive CPU/PROM on a cheap battery. I don't think that they did this. My two batteries still function like new after 1 1/2 years. I guess I'll never get an excuse to get a new 'Pad. :-) ----------------------------------- Roger J.
