The "recommended" thing to do is leave it plugged in when you can, and run it down about once a month.<BR/><BR/>Hey David - have you had the same problem with your battery? I guess it's fairly common out there.<BR/><BR/>FM - if you get a Mac, you know where you can send your questions, right?<BR/><BR/>Beth, I try to get to FL in January or February. If you're free then, I'd love to meet-up with some of my blog buddies!<BR/><BR/>Boran, thanks. I'm looking forward to being able to rely on the battery when the power goes out. :-)<BR/><BR/>Nancy, you'll find that I'm fond of song lyrics and bad puns for blog post titles....<BR/><BR/>Y'all have a good weekend, and I'll see you on Da Toobs.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-13782105665164351912007-08-03T10:53:00.000-04:002007-08-03T10:53:00.000-04:00A Salted Battery, snicker!A Salted Battery, snicker!Nancy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429062957063032872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-74391130036580881492007-08-03T10:08:00.000-04:002007-08-03T10:08:00.000-04:00Good luck with the new battery!Good luck with the new battery!boran2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10483728578007756485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-69904947899327573612007-08-03T08:52:00.000-04:002007-08-03T08:52:00.000-04:00FAR, thanks for the e-mail.
