catching up late to this thread...what is the power supply rating for a
2000, and if it's dead will removing the battery allow a person to fire it
up or do you have to have a working battery to apply power? I forgot I
have one of these buried in my laptop shelf.

The manual and the other documentation I've found online boasts a 4 hour

I just thought it was a little unusual to see lead acid cells for a portable. I
guess they were more concerned about run time than weight.

1985, so I'm not
