- The switch on the batter does nothing... it is only there for your own
- convenience. That is, when you charge a battery, you put that switch in
- the charged position. When you use a batter and take it out of your
- duo, you switch the batter to the uncharged position. This is ONLY so
- that you know which batteries are charged and which aren't. It has no
- other purpose; it doesn't affect your battery's performance, it is only
- an external indication. I bet Apple wishes that it remembered to put
- this in their Docs... save themselves a few headaches of people
- wondering what it is for and thinking that it actually does something.
-
- What probably happened was that you took teh battery out, fooled around
- with it (which accomplished nothing), and then put it back in thereby
- solving the contact problem.
