Powerbook G4 battery

The battery on Mrs K's 12" Powerbook has died.

Anyone got a healthy one one they're prepared to part with at modest cost, or any suggestions as to where to source a replacement at sensible money?

If you're prepared to get handy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron, you can replace the cells in the battery. Much cheaperer.

is there a how-to anywhere?

They have a bad reputation. Mine gone too :-(

t'bay, you can get them for about 30 notes

i have a spare around somewhere. pm me.

Was gonna post this myself, mine went down from 31% to 1% in about 2 mins yesterday... Any cheap fixes appreciated...

are the 15" batteries the same size as the 12 " ?
If so i have a spare that lasts for an hour or so.

Cheers scrapper, but I believe the 12" ones are different.

Yup mine went about 4 months ago, it has just become a very small desktop ever since. I think at the last reckoning I got about 5 mins out of a "full" battery. Go to an apple store and ask just for a laugh.
Also if anyone knows of a cheap interwangle site that sells the buggers would be much obliged.

Oh yeah none of them dodgy del-boy russian knockoff type thingies either, I know a chap who got a bunch of them for his canon dslr, two colleges borrowed one and their cameras promptly turned into useless smoking lumps.

there is a battery updater as download on apple website, and a proceeder for running down recharging.

yeah i did this with a apple power adaptor blew 2 of them
then phoned apple up,they send ups to collect and swap a new
one straight away.

You can get a new one on ebay. Or if you're lucky it might be one of the ones that got recalled. There's a page on the apple website where you type in your serial number and it checks for you. That's how i got mine replaced.
