To me, screwing up means doing something bad to the batteries or MP2k. In
the case of connecting a MP120 AC adaptor to a MP2kx is only charges slower
because of the smaller maximum current of the MP120 (7W charger). I do it
all the time in the office because I've a MP130 there as well and only a 7W
adaptor.

I noticed this as well and I think it is caused by the algorithm to
determine the capacity, which uses the voltage as indicator and is a sort of
an inverse accu charging curve. I think if you wait a bit longer or switch
the Newton off and on again the capacity reading goes back to the previous
more realistic value.

I would not connect the 9W charger to a MP130. However, I tried it more then
once and nothing happened but it is not recommended because the mobo might
burn out if the internal protection circuitry is killed.
