Then it must be a prototype, or custom-made, or unauthorized, because Lee
himself told me Osborne never made a battery, and that there was a deal in
the works to authorize an aftermarket battery, but the deal fell through. I hate to say
that Lee was wrong, but I've been able to locate the user manual for the Osborne
battery I have. It was called the Powr-Pac(tm). The manual is printed with a tan and blue
cover, just like the rest of my Osborne software manuals. Copyright is 1982. The Part
Number in the manual is 3F-00128-00. If anyone wants a scan of the manual, email me. Bob
