[NTLK] Components needed to rebuild eMate300 batteries

[Victor Rehorst]

One component is the thermistor, this is the thing that other than the 
battery that is wired to the battery connector. Without this, the eMate 
will not recognize that a battery is installed and will not charge it.  
According to this page from Daniel Padilla about hacking an MP2100 AA 
tray to recharge in a MessagePad, a 10Kohm thermistor will work, and are 
fairly common: http://dev.newtontalk.net/dpadilla/battery.htm

The other component is a thermal cutoff or "resettable fuse" that 
connects two of the cells at the end opposite the battery connector.  
Frank's battery rebuild instructions have a small photo of one. 
Apparently it is designed to trigger if the battery temperatures exceed 
55°C. I don't know that anyone ever determined the original manufacturer 
or specs for this part. https://www.pda-soft.de/emate_battery_pack.html

The third component would be the battery connector itself; I hope you're 
able to salvage them!
