Jon,

I got an idea from Dennis Lovelady...he uses an APC battery that's flat and just fits nicely under the laptop...I got one a few weeks ago, slaped some velcro on it and I've not had to worry about a battery going dead for a while... it's a UPD80 universal notebook battery from APC...really cool stuff!

I recently purchased a new battery for my laptop - but it never goes beyond
63% or so charged and then stays at that level - as a result it is always
charging.

Is this likely to be harmful to the battery? - and does anyone have any
suggestions as to how to fix this?

So far the only "cures" I have found have suggested removing the battery and
reinserting it - this I have done several times to no effect.

Also any suggestions on a good techie forum where one can ask questions such
as this without being flamed for opening your mouth?
