I had two battery packs for my DUObook 230. Both are NiMH and before they were put away two years ago they were fully cycled and then recharged.
I pulled the system and the batteries out today and to my dismay neither battery wants to hold a charge anymore. Either I get a battery with an X in it or I get a battery that is fully charged but dies the instant you pull the power cord and the DUO battery reconditioner is apparently not compatible with my DUO (how ironic). Since it's just too much to get replacement batteries off ebay, is there a more "persuasive" way to get the batteries to charge? I really want to take this notebook to school to do word processing on. I still consider it the Macbook Air of the 90's and I use it with my Messagepad 130.
