My battery seems to be acting up, when I started it up yesterday morning, all
my control panel settings were rest, & when I started it up today, the settinggs
were again reset. How long is the battery expected to last? I thought it
was five years? My Gs can't be that old, although it is one of the Woz
edition models. My configuration: Woz edition GS, revision 01 ROM & VGC,
5.25 & 3.5 drives das\isy chained, modem connected to port, parallel card
in slot one, MDIdeas stereo card in slot 3, 1.5Meg on a old AE GSRam card
installed just recently on a Memory Saver card. Could the Memory saver be
causing problems? I'm inclined to believe that the battery actually is failing
because I recall hearing someone else on the net mention problems with the
battery. Thanks for any info.

From folks I have talked to on Compuserve, the batteries in the GS have lasted from a few weeks to 22+ months. Note that in the few weeks case, that was AFTER the battery had been replaced! -- Larry W.

The battery may have been in your machine for only a few months, but how long was it stored before that. Seems to make sense, but I don't know if it is true. Mark Johnson
