The eMate power adapter is identical to the 2100 adapter.
The rechargeable battery pack has two additional contacts that the
battery sled does not have. these connect to a thermister that senses
the battery temperature to assure that they don't overheat. A number
of folks have converted sleds to make them rechargeable.
See for example <http://dev.newtontalk.net/~dpadilla/battery.htm>

If you don't see the page for battery , delete surplus '20%'
