Hi listers I am about to rebuild a couple of Intelligent NiMh Batteries that are used in PowerBooks 500 series (520,540 and 550) that are not so "intelligent" anymore to hold a charge. I have found what seems to be a replacement type of cell batteries. They are a bit smaller (14 x 50 mm instead of 17 x 50 mm) but some hot glue will fix this. What I have problem with is their capacity. For the life of me I can't seem to find 1750 mAh cells that Panasonic or Sanyo built for Apple. As I can only find 2000 mAh or 2200 mAh my question is - do I have to replace all 8 cells or can I replace just the dead/shorted ones. Will the EMM somehow know that some of the cells have higher capacity and compensate for that? It would be cost prohibitive to replace ALL of them since I get them for 10 EUR a pair which is 5 EUR each and comes to 40 EUR per whole pack. (for those over the Atlantic 1 EUR is about 1 USD). Any battery rebuilders please chime in...
Replace dead cells or replace all cells? Regards, Boris -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
