[ltp] T4x Battery Conditons Survey

[Kelvin KAN]

I said it dropped from 47Wh to 42Wh in 38 charging cycles around 
2005/12/16, in less than 1 year.  (Almost each time I took out the 
battery while on AC, and shut down the T42 during re-charge).

Now 2 more charge cycles just further dropped it to 40Wh 
(re-conditioning slightly raise it back to 40.5Wh).

The capacity has NOT been good already. 

And the loss of further 5% in just too cycles is frightening!

I think I can no longer be till any more environmental friendly but have 
to claim replacement from IBM.

FYI as a comparison, my previous 600E ONLY dropped from 3-hours capacity 
to 2.5 hours over 3 years.  And back in that 600E I was much more 
carelessly (might not take out the battery while on AC).

So I have reason to believe T42 battery has SETBACK very much from the 
quality of 600E.
