- The following is a post I found a few months ago about a rechargeable
- Lithium batteries for notebook computers. I've tried to e-mail and
- regular-mail the sender of this post for addition infomation about
- these batteries. I am interested in knowing what sizes these
- batteries are, what computers do there fit in, how much do they cost,
- where can I find/order them, and after 200 charging cycles to what
- degree does their performance degrade?
-
- Thanks in advance, Anita Krajnc (Internet: akrajn@epas.utoronto.ca).
