1. The TP 701 was introduced in May 1995. Since then, we've come
some way in battery technology, but the batteries I see available are
still the same old ... has anyone come up with a 701 battery
which is lighter or has a higher energy density (= keep the
laptop running longer)?
2. Mommy, what happens to batteries when they die? I have a
dead battery, surely parts of it are worth something.
3. I remember a few years ago a company was going to resurrect
apparently dead NiCad batteries by applying high frequency charges
to them and thereby break up the memory effect. It was written
up in a major computer magazine. Sounded like a good idea.
Did it happen? If not, was it just a dead-end idea
business-wise, or was it a hoax? Or did it work, but not well
enough to make a difference to most people?
