Has anyone seen a battery discharger/recharger in the adds??? The powerbook battery suffers from the NiCad "Memory" effect. The powerbook only allows the battery to discharge about 50%, then after one or two discarge/charge cycles the battery "forgetts" it is supposed to be a three hour battery and becoms a 1 1/2 hour battery. I have seen a device advertised in, I believe. MacWeek, that both discharges to zero and recharges the battery, but, I don't remember exactly when or where.
