I guess I was asking if I can do something to revive the life of the battery
I have now. It seems that NiCads have a "memory" factor that looks similar
to what's happening now with the iBook battery. If I recall correctly, when
you let them drain completely and then recharge them they seem to have a
second and sometimes a third life. It looks as though the Li battery has hit
it's lifespan and that is that.
