It's been a long time since I had a 130 (on that debate, on a previous
thread, I prefer the size of the 2x00, and the speed of the 2100 is so
good that I can't take a 2000 anymore, sigh). But, I expect you can do
what I do. I have two sets of NiMh batteries for an external charger.
They last forever, and I use my Newton a LOT. I don't do ethernet
without plugging in, but otherwise I run the machine for a long time.
Once I'm down to some low percentage of power, I just replace the
batteries with the fully charged set that's been waiting for a few
weeks. It's barely work, and I like NiMh much better than NiCad.
Sorry I can't tell you more about chargers, though. I never had one,
and sold my 130 soon after getting it back in the late 90s.
