I understand that the 340 standard battery is lead-acid, so NiCad
conditioning doesn't apply.
I also have just read on the web that the 701 and the 340 charge in
totally opposite situations.
The 701 charges only when ON (or suspended, I think).
The 340 changes only when OFF. (boy is that cheap...).
(see

)
I guess that I'll have to turn the 340 off & see what happens...
Ciao, Tom
