Power Manager Missing Battery Maintenance Tab

[normk256]

As the topic describes, my power manager is missing the battery maintenance button. I have a t40 2373-12U. I have changed power manager to the advanced view, but still no button. Any feedback on what I am missing? Do some t40's not support this function? I am using power manager version 1.60 according the about screen.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

To begin with, Power Manager was never made to run on a T40. I will work, but with limited functionality. Even so, Battery MaxiMiser for the T40 does not have as many features available for the T40 as it does for the T42.
