I've heard even though it may test at full voltage, if it's old and
used somewhat, it may not stay at that level when used, or not be at
its best ... whatever that means ... don't really know.
I have the problem even with brand new ones mostly in PowerBooks, G3's
and TiBooks.
Oh, my. Does this mean that if a Mac's problem can indeed be traced to a
malfunctioning (for whatever reason) PRAM battery and you buy a new one
that tests good (with a voltmeter) and THAT doesn't fix it -- unless you
have money to throw away buying PRAM batteries until you get one that
DOES work -- you might as well give up on that Mac and use or sell it
for parts?
