So you say, but after reading the original post, I tried this with my
"home-brew" 130 battery pack that has been dead since last spring, and it
worked! I now have it in my Newton, and it seems to be going strong! I
thought the pack was dead, dead, dead. Thanks to that post, this mystery is
no longer a mystery! I'm glad he "discovered" this and posted it. I'm also
glad for your explanation. I will pay closer attention to my batteries now.
For the record, just Monday, I finally bought another set of nicads to
replace the "dead" ones. I now have two sets. One to charge in my base, and
another for use in the Newton, and I'm happy. :-)
