I've been alternating 3 different packs with my MP2100 for over 3 years now
(started to keep track in 1999), making sure I was discharging any pack
before recharging it, and making sure that if I temporarily need to plug my
Newton, I remove the battery pack. I've been keeping track in Notion of
every charge I had with every single pack and from what I can see, none of
them has been deteriorating over the time. They all seem to keep their
charge right now for as long as they used to do back when I got them.

YMMV...

fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild
pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the
malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is
sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal
machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it
incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage.
Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted.
See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory
smash, overrun screw, core.
