OK, I didn't know that it rotates, but I still don't think the behavior I
see in my T45 is normal. According to the "esif" it should recharge in
0.2-2.2 seconds, and while I haven't timed it I estimate mine to ~10
seconds (2.2s x 5=11s, is this a coincidence?). The question then is how
exactly does it rotate between the battery clusters? I've flashed it
several times in a row and the voltage has only dropped in one of the
clusters. I will try my T45 with the F.AC Adapter 3 tonight, to make sure
the voltage step-up (or step-ups) really is the bottle neck in the system.
Thanks for trying to help, though.
