Re: (ET) newer batteries are tougher?

[Chris Zach <czach computer org>]

They need more time to equalize. New batteries charge at slightly 
different rates. Over time though they will tend to "sync up" and need 
less overcharge.

Older batteries also gas easier and tend not to benefit from a longer 
charge.
