Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go.

Very strange thing...
I had a Halfords battery pack that I thought was dead.
(the life-force was sucked out of the poor thing by the Obsessionator)
I was going to bring it back to get a refund but I said I'd
give it one more shot.
I charged it up for 48 hours,
plugged in the ETX and set it up, no trouble so far,
then I did several re alignments, set ups, slews, train drives,
anything I could think of and the battery still read 100%.
I left it set up and went to bed, the next morning it was still
working away.
I even plugged in my laptop and it worked.
This never worked before.
I charged it up again and it looks like its fine.
Very strange.
