If you plan on placing a on-rechargable NiMH battery on there ( which most PC batterys are ) then you will first have to disable the charging circuit, or the battery may, if you are unfortunate, explode. There are instructions on Aminet to do this, if I remember correctly the filename is "lithbatt.lha". I guess it would work on memory cards aswell.

Or you could do what I did. I bought a rechargable NiMH battery and soldered it into my A3000. Works like a charm... :)

It was dark out, so I´ll use that as an excuse! :)

First of all, I didnt mean NiMH, ofcourse I meant Lithium, and second of all, the "on-rechargable" should, ofcourse, be "non-rechargable"... :)
