New Battery for 701c



        Had to replace my 10 month old Nicad, which must of had a weak cell.
This will cause your battery timer to run very fast on that last hour of run
time.  For me it was about 45 minutes left, then nothing.  Since battery are
warranted for one year IBM was very kind and sent me out a new one.  Because
of postings to this news group, I was Not surprised by IBM sending me one of
the newer NiMH batteries.  This seems to have given me about 30 more
minutes.  Funny how those last 10 to 15 minutes seem to be so unusable with
the low battery alarms going off.  The old "Save now or Die!" :)
