Both batteries are 7.4V (4400 mAh). In fact their outside dimensions, including the curves, are identical. Course Asus put a different connector in each so I can't interchange them...

My guess is that you do have a temperature measuring device.

I have been checking the temperatures of both Asus and my Toshiba 2595XDVD laptops. Those Toshiba laptops I always thought of being hot. Although they only read 110F at a few spots. Only when the fan kicks on high, I can read 130F coming out of the fan. The Asus netbooks, the highest I read is 110F. And not much difference if I am running Linux or Windows XP. So maybe the Asus 700/701/702 *does* run hot. ;-) -- Bill Asus EEE PC 702G4 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Xandros Linux (build 2007-10-19 13:03)

After 48 hours of freezing, there seems to be no real change in the battery meter functioning. I think there has been a slight increase in the elapsed time before the Critical level indicator comes up. But, I could be thinking it up. In any case, the battery lasts for another 4 mins more after this. So... |
