Battery Amnesia

BatteryAmnesia 1.5.2 for PowerBooks Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com BatteryAmnesia is a utility for any PowerBook that uses a nickel-cadmium (NiCad) or nickel-hydride (NiMH) battery. Over time, these batteries are susceptible to a "memory effect", which can reduce their battery capacity. The memory effect can be cured by fully discharging the battery before recharging it. BatteryAmnesia provides a safe, fast and automatic way to deep discharge your PowerBook's battery. BatteryAmnesia bypasses the low battery warning dialogs, and prevents the "soft" sleep brought on by those dialogs. Instead, BatteryAmnesia will run your PowerBook's battery down until the "hard" hardware shutdown occurs, which is at a lower voltage. This provides the best discharge possible without an expensive external battery conditioner. Version 1.5.2 contains the following enhancements: - Fixes Mac OS 8 compatibility bug. Shareware; $10 registration fee suggested. See enclosed docs for more information.
