He sent one to me too. But I didn't mind, it was right after my 1st
contact to buy 2 of those. And they were utterly kind during all the
eMail exchange that started by the end of November 2000. They held them
for me until the purchase on May 2nd, 2001.

And so I did. These batteries are rated 1300mAh while Apple's are only 1200mAh.
Debut on the MP2000 w/ 24MB Pretec card: June 12th, 2001. Refrainig
recharge until it begs.
After leaving it to first charge for about 6hours (100%!!) my heavy
dutty test was to insert a Supra56K card (which suck fresh Duracells dry
right out of the pack warning "the batterires are getting low..."). The
battery display kept the 100% with the backlight on for some dozens of
minutes of fiddling. Very tough (I think...). And it reads 47% right
now, after almost half a month of intense Alarm buzzing, IR beaming and
MacinTalk show-off. No Internet/FAX though.
The interesting part is that these guys took only 8 days to post the
batteries to a friend of mine who was soon to come to Brazil. But
they're here after all :).
Best wishes,
johnsinho's!
