Hi, I haven't encountered any problems with the Nimh batteries. Charging works well, the cells don't get hotter than usual + the battery indicator in Mac OS 6 on the Mac Portable works correct too. I don't see any reason to avoid Nimh cells. Switching to Lithium-ion is another case where I fully agree with your remarks. Original batteries from the PB100 series for example were NiCad where everyone replaces them with Nimh now. Regards, Nico

NiMH is a completely different chemistry from what is in the portable ( I own four portable macs) and each type of battery requires different methods of charging. Just be careful out there! -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
