| ABC/LX | "Advanced Battery Charging system/LX" - One of the great features of the HP Palmtop is the ability to recharge batteries directly in the unit (note, not 95LX). However, the charging method is not very sophisticated. The Palmtop simply charges for 6 hours every time you enable charging (or insert the AC adapter when charging is enabled) then it trickle charges the batteries continuously thereafter. ABC/LX adds intelligence to battery charging on the Palmtop, plus it provides excellent information about battery conditions and charging. | |
