One of the great features of the HP Palmtop is the ability to recharge batteries directly in the unit. 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.

ABC/LX allows you to simply forget about your batteries! You can plug in the AC adapter at any time. If the batteries are low, ABC/LX automatically enables charging. When the batteries are full, charging is disabled. It's that easy! However, if you're like me, you like to have the option to adjust things and monitor performance. Well, ABC/LX allows you to do that too. You can configure ABC/LX to stop charging whenever any one of the following conditions are met: 1) The voltage reaches a specified maximum limit, 2) The voltage stops rising for a specified period of time, 3) The charge time reaches a defined limit. ABC/LX can also chart the progress of charging.

All this in a TSR that's only 2KB in size plus an optional 40KB program for charting and adjusting the parameters. Download a copy of ABC/LX here to try it out...
