Larry--
I have had clip-type contacts break from metal fatigue (at the
bend) in other devices. I have replaced them with springs when that
happened, and none of the springs have failed. In fact, I have never had
a spring-type contact fail.

What do you all think of the merits of spring based battery connections
vs =3D
the clip type connectors currently used on Book Port?
One appealing thing about the springs, of course, is the fact that it is
=3D
easier to identify the correct orientation of the battery, but what
about =3D
the possibility of damage to springs? The clips don't seem nearly as
easy =3D
to break.
