[X4U] How much can it cost

[Paul Moortgat]

The startup sound hasn't changed, but each time I try I now get half a  
vacuum cleaner sound.  I also made a drive with only Leopard on and  
mounted that inside.
How can I test the battery?  By measure the voltage?  How much is the  
minimum it must have?
