| |
| − | | |
| − | There is a problem with the 600X and dying batteries. The problem is tha the 600X's has problems with its power management which causes batteries to die before they should. This, in fact, resulted in a [http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/30/1744214 front page Slashdot.org article]. According to the article, if one discharges their 600X battery nearly fully at least once a week, the batteries will be fine. I did not have problems with the battery until it was plugged in all of the time; both of my batteries went from being able to hold a charge from one hour to being able to only hold a charge for about five minutes.
