Subject: Epson PX-8 batteries

I just replaced the original 1100 mAH battery pack in my PX-8 with one rated
1600 mAH.  I figured the increased capacity would be quite useful.
Unfortunately, the new pack fails to fully charge, even when left charging
for up to 18 hours.  Have any other PX-8 owners experienced anything similar?
Also, does anyone know if the PX-8 needs to be modified to charge the batteries
at a higher rate?  I know that charge rate is related to capacity.
