Well I might be wrong but the logic seemed plausibly. Since the Newton,
with or without the battery cell installed, was registering a high cell
temp I though if I lowered the cell temp that it might begin charging.
So I placed the battery in a sealed plastic bag and placed it in the
freezer for 10 minutes. I then installed it into the eMate and it
immediately began charging. I guess I will let you know it s progress.

Well as I typed this the eMate restarted and said there was a problem
and the battery is now showing charged at about 20%, which is where it
was before. Oh well, back to the drawing board. : (
