[Duo2400] Different NIMH type batteries; what do they mean?

[Ivan Drucker]

You got it: III's and IV's offer more life, and Apple doesn't recommend a 
Type I or II on the more recent Duo's (280c, 2300c). On those machines, 
even a Type III doesn't last that long, 2 hours absolute tops.

Apple never officially released a Type IV, but I think third-parties 
added the name themselves. I think BTI at one point released a "Type IV" 
which actually added life by oddly protruding from the front of the 
machine (so the battery was physically larger than the Apple models). I 
don't know if all "Type IV's" are like this.

Ivan.
