Hello all,

    I've noticed something rather strange with my HP28S's treatment of
batteries. After taking a set of old batteries out, I tested them
with my meter. Of the three batteries, only one was totally drained.
The other two were identical in all respects to a new battery. Full
amperage, identical resistance, etc... So, I took the three new
batteries out, put the two original ones back, and one new battery.
Voila! Fully functional. I've been running it like that for about a
month, and it hasn't drained either of the two older batteries yet.
My girlfriend's HP28S is the same way, so it can't simply be a fluke.
Has anyone else noticed this? And if this has already been covered
here in the past, sorry... I just subscribed.
