Well if it is Nick's Softcharge, it actually changes what the battery
meter displays in Extras (or any other battery monitor) not the battery
low trigger. And something else I found out a while back, Softcharge
only works with 2.1 machines. But with SBM Options you can at least
change the battery low warning on 1x0 machine as you suggested so you
know when you are getting low. Of course you have to know where to set
the low message. You don't want it that the message is flashing
constainly, yet gives you enough time to get the batteries replaced
before you are out. I have my 130 set to warn at 35% and I find that a
good setting for the nicads. Of course your mileage may vary.
