My personal favorite would be Sealed Lead Acid, but it's obviously too heavy for notebook use. I think it was either the 500 or 510cs that came with SLA for a little while. I also like NiMH, too. So, what does Lithium Polymer have that Li-Ion doesn't? And I already know about Zinc air having a lousy number of recharge cycles, but a long charge, like the whole day. -- Paul Khoury | <pkhoury@loop.com> | Sent from my ThinkPad 701CS Proudly running OS/2 Warp 3/4, Slackware Linux, and Sun Solaris 2.4
