I see that Apple is still having issues with these batteries from what
i read. Any 3rd party i could look at.??
Mac G4 iBook, 13" screen
iBook G4 with 13"? I assume it's 12" only.
I got any battery from ebay sellers. You never know about the quality
that much - especially how new the cells are, since li-ion does degrade
by aging.
My battery here dropped from 4400 mAh (which it never actually had) down
to now 3644 mAh after 486 cycles. Seems to be good enough.
It does fit sufficiently well and is slightly more grey than the white
casing. Apple batteries are speced at 4000 mAh, AFAIR.
There are some better recommended brands - but I'd suggest to ask e.g.
in news:comp.sys.mac.portables or any of the common web forums.
I think it's my third battery since 2004 - the first one was replaced by
Sony's recall action.
I'm more annoyed by the fact that Apple claims much better battery
quality for the current MacBooks with internal cells, but does not
reflect this by any increased warranty - it's always limited to one year
only, regardless of AppleCare, for manufacturing defects only.
