Yep. There's been a number of reports of early battery demise amongst 600X users
on the NGs. I haven't seen any symptoms on mine yet (it's only 2 months old) but
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear of a recall on the 600X battery in the
near future like with the 600E.

Do you normally leave the battery in when you're on AC? Just curious.

Give IBM a call and they'll send one right out to you.
