I installed Battery Watcher on an SRAM card and I haven't had the
clear-to-zero problems others have mentioned.

I did have one strange problem: I had to do a paperclip-reboot
(don't insert batteries, even one, backward!), and when batwatch
came up, it read 300 minutes, which was about half of the 600
minutes it registered when it crashed.

This could be because, to reinitialize, I installed a geos.ini that
I had saved before the crash.

BTW, I am keeping a spreadsheet of battery usage which I will post when
I have a little more data.
