I was looking up information on batteries, and ended up on this page http://battery-superstore.com/14.4v-Replacement-Battery-for-Irobot-Roomba/M/B00022HZ04.htm (I think it was the bright colors :o ) I found this review of the battery amusing Live to fight another day Oct 22, 2008 Our battle against dirt and dust had come to an end. My Roomba warrior no longer had the energy to wander further than a few inches from home. Through the oracles I learned that a new iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery could potentially return the warrior to the battlefields. I consulted with the mighty Amazons, and made my request. Days passed, until finally, a mysterious box adorned my doorstep. A finger slipped between the flaps of the cardboard box made quick work of the plastic packing tape. With eager anticipation, I opened the box. Inside, bubbles of air obscured my view, but a flash of bright yellow assured me that what lie in wait was what I had hoped for. The mighty Amazons had heard my plea, and taken pity on me! I tossed the packing plastic aside for the cat to wrestle with, and hoisted the iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery in the air. It's weight was hearty, with a promise of reliable electric discharge on the future horizon. I set to work attempting to break the seal on the retail packaging. A packing knife was necessary to score the plastic shield, and with a constant fear of severing a digit, I pried the casket open. At last! My iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery was free! Unceremoniously, I flipped the Roomba over on its back like a helpless turtle. Removing the exhausted iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery like the still-beating heart of the human sacrifice offered to the Amazons, I chanted a prayer that the fallen warrior would recover. I tossed aside the exhausted iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery, surprising the cat playing in the packaging materials, and slid the new iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery into place with a satisfying "click." The Roomba made no effort to flip itself over onto its wheels, but I could sense its anticipation of a cleaning spree. Placing my cleaning partner onto the floor I pressed the power button, and it sprung to life. I instructed the Roomba to find the docking station and sleep, for there was much cleaning to be done, but a young warrior must be well rested and fully energized before heading into battle. Successfully finding the home port, I reiterated our schedule back to the warrior as sleep approached, and electric sheep filled our dreams. Refreshed and revitalized! The warrior stands victorious after the daily battle! The iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery fulfilled its role in the war, and we live to fight another day! anyone else spotted any funny review, etc online? -- Jonathan Hallameyer -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
