Help!

Actually, they are AA Ni-MH batteries. I have never had a problem with them
or using them with the AC adapter. But, today the Newt & adapter melted the
batteries (near). Could it be either:

1) Today I installed BattTrax battery monitor. Which I believe was written
by someone who was designing his own rechargeable pack.

2) Today I Dropped the Newton about 36", it landed on its Low Left corner
(Mic corner).

Now, I notice the adapter level meter (Not BattTrax), reads very near the
top of its scale which I think indicates mA's. This is unusual, usually
it's just below mid scale.

Any ideas or experiences much appreciated!!

Thanks,
