Well it took a little while, but the nice shiny new battery arrived at the start of the weekend. The combination of the new battery and some obvious power management deficiencies in the Advent 4211/MSI Wind U100 has made it fun – but only with the addition of new power management software. In summary, I have much more ‘away from the mains’ operation but how much has yet to be fully determined. This will have to wait for some evaluation and I hope to post new info during the week ahead.
