Subject: FileStore battery

Having no FileStore (yet) unfortunately but without wanting to state the 
obvious, can you see any details on the existing battery regarding 
specification / voltage etc ? :)

Although your general idea (diode to prevent reverse charge, as I'm 
assuming its a Nicad type battery in the FileStore) and resistor is the 
way to go.

I'd guess its going to be 3v or so, but perhaps if there are any numbers 
visible on the Battery (don't have a .pdf or any FileStore documentation 
to hand) , a Google search may turn up some relevant information about 
the battery.

Just my quick thoughts anyway. :)
