Re: battery replacement under warr?

A couple of comments on batteries.

I have never seen a battery fail, but I am very careful: Never start a
recharge without going all the way down (so nice and easy to do on the
TP with the recharge option), and never leave a battery in the machine
for a long time cycling between 90-100%.

Note that with the Li-Ion batteries, these precautions are unnecessary
(indeed the 90-100 cycling business does not occur with li-ion's, they
always keep a 100% charge inside the machine).

P.S. I note with Li-Ion's, that I can keep my 760CD suspended for days,
with relatively little battery drain, whereas before, the combination
ofbattery drain and decay with the Nimh batteries meant rather short
suspend times.

That's handy, I have not rebooted my OS/2 system for weeks now.
