When these cutouts are experienced, it's an indication that the cells are on the way out, and the cutting out gradually becomes more frequent and at lower load levels. Eventually it's too inconvenient to continue with the battery.

Holy cow. I'll do EVERYTHING I can to preserve my battery.

I don't now how I'd face life without my Quando.

The other day I caught myself standing in front of my bike where I had parked it at the hospital where I work. I was actually singing a love song to my bike. Glad none of my colleagues or patients caught me before I did.

Supplies of the latest Sanyo made battery should arrive in the States shortly, so whenever in the future your battery finally dies, at least you be able to get an even more capable replacement. I think in your New York City location your battery will probably have quite a long life.
