Testbatt
Description
I have been trying out the new Duracell batteries designed for high drain devices. Hal Goldstein from the Palmtop Paper was kind enough to send me some to try. I have run two sets of them through my palmtop. I also did two sets of Lithium batteries and one set of standard alkalines. I used each set until the palmtop's low battery warning went off. I monitored these trials with a program called Battlog. This program makes a graph of battery voltage vs. time. I have captured these graphs as *.pcx files and uploaded these pcx files to the library as a self-extracting archive called TESTBATT.EXE.

Package contents
Send to my palmtop
The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
