This includes... Main Batteries Lithium RAM SSD Batteries External power It will also tell you if you have enough battery voltage to write to FLASH, or to hear Sound. This can be very helpful. New feature in v1.1 in keeping with graphic representation of key information is the "ROM Version" feature on the menu. This shows graphically your ROM version number. (Technically it's the Operating System version.) One of the nicer functions of the Battery Checker is to check your battery strength by putting a load on the battery, and watching it to see if it holds up. This is the same way a battery in a car is checked. However, in order to put a load on your S3a battery, the best way is to copy files over a 3Link. Set some files to copy, and jump back into the Battery Checker. If you see the main batteries jump down into the "Very Low" area, these batteries are probably no good. If it jumps down into "Low", you may have a few hours left on your batteries, unless they are nicads, in which case they may die any minute. Of course, you have to experiment with your own batteries. Battery Checker 1.1 will now show the condition of RAM SSD batteries, if and only if they are the newer style RAM SSD's. Older RAM SSD's don't have the necessary hardware to report battery levels. By default, Battery Checker shows you both SSD Slots. You will see the SSD type on the bottom of the icon for each SSD, labeled "A" and "B". Types being "FLASH" , or "RAM". INSTALLATION 컴컴컴컴컴컴 To install Battery Checker, just copy the Battery.opa file into any \App\ directory on your Psion Series 3a. Next, press Psion from the system screen to install the Battery.opa icon. REGISTRATION 컴컴컴컴컴컴 This program is freeware from Pelican Software Inc. and requires no registration.
