Charge card PRAM battery died...
Greetings, Whe received our G3 Series Wallstreet about two months ago. For about 2 weeks all was fine with the battery, then it regestered as completely discharged for about two days, then, started charging again. This condition lasted for about four days, then we had to keep it on the adapter to operate, and we have to remove the battery completely in order to boot up the G3. I ordered a charge card, then, after about four more days the PRAM battery started losing the date after every power off. I ordered and received a new PRAM battery. My question for the list is two-fold: Firstly, should I wait for the charge card to arrive before I replace the PRAM battery? I'm thinking that if I leave the G3 without any power at all for very long, the new PRAM battery will die as well. Secondly, since the battery has been discharged for such a long time, is it advisable to attempt to recharge the main battery while it is in the G#, or should I get a separate charger to revive the main battery?

Pismo pram battery, DIY ?
Hey there ! I was wondering if it could be possible to construct an homemade Pram battery for my (still) dead powerbook (but working on it ...). It has been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 years, not connected and no battery in the bay, so it must be pretty dead now. I looked on the net and ebay, prices are ranging from 10$ for a very used one, to 100$ for a new one !! and since I currently reside in Taiwan at the moment, my resources to find one here are pretty limited and shipping would be prohibitive for such a small item. Macs are not too popular around here ! So, what are the specs for that little battery ? I am sure there is somebody that already tried this ! Thanks !

PRAM Battery

Re: Wallstreet, pram battery, and other battery question
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2004 19:36:02 EST Subject: Wallstreet, pram battery, and other battery question Ok, I test drove the Wall street PowerBook that is for sale for $200 today. The date and time is not holding, so I assume it needs a Pram battery. The guy told me laptop don't have a PRAM battery. Is that true? If it does have a PRAM battery, I need a webpage for PRAM batteries with prices. Apple laptops have PRAM batteries, so yes this one is probably dead. Also, it has a SCSI adapter since the SCSI port on the Wall street is nonstandard. His adapter looks like a pin is missing. He said it came looking like that. He did not have a SCSI peripheral to demo the adapter. The standard Powerbook SCSI adapter has only 29 pins. A 30-pin adapter would be used for setting up the 'book in SCSI Disk Mode. Some adapters have a switch to allow both uses. When he did a demo on the internal zip drive, he just opened the ZIP Tools disc window and commented on the loud sound of the ZIP drive. It sounds like my old ZIP, but I'm remembering that some ZIPs were recalled due to chatter problem and for ruining zip discs. I don't know if he had a recalled zip drive. Then, when he unplugged the laptop from the wall, it died. He finally confessed that the battery was not holding a charge. So I need a website for a battery and the price. Be prepared for sticker shock, as batteries are close to $150. http://www.batterytech.com/ I went to the webpage that a nice list person sent me today. It says that this model usually goes for $500- $700. So, I'm a little nervous about the low price. I asked him to meet me at a Mac place to have it checked over next week. I have a gift certificate to that store from my User group. I told him I'd apply my $50 gift cert toward the inspection of the laptop. Maybe that was too generous on my part. Wallstreets don't go for that much these days. eBay is probably a better indicator of value now. If you're looking for something mobile, know that you'll be spending another couple hundred right away to get the batteries replaced. If you're just looking for something to put on a desktop, you can leave it plugged in and not worry about the batteries for a while.

Re: Wallstreet, pram battery, and other battery question - G-Books Digest #1580
Rodney, the guy did agree to meet me at an Apple reseller to have a diagnostic done on the Wallstreet he is selling. . After I found out how much it would cost to replace the battery and pram battery, it just wasn't making much financial sense to buy it. After all was said and done, it would cost almost as much as an iBook (last season's model at $699). I was only wanting to spend around $300 anyway right now.

PRAM battery
Hello Listers, I am new to PowerBooks but not to Macs. I suspect the PRAM battery has failed on my WallStreet 233 mhz revised model with 512k cache. The date keeps on needing to be reset every time I bootup. On my desktop Mac this is normally corrected with a new PRAM battery which I have fitted my self. I have checked in many books to find what a PowerBook PRAM battery looks like and where it is fitted inside but with out any luck. Could someone point me in the direction for this information, and what type of battery and cost could I expect. The desktop version is normally under £10.00 UK and I am able to obtain one at a good electronics shop. Would this apply to the PowerBook version.

Re: Wallstreet, pram battery, and other battery question
on 01/02/04 19:36, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, I test drove the Wall street PowerBook that is for sale for $200 today. The date and time is not holding, so I assume it needs a Pram battery. The guy told me laptop don't have a PRAM battery. Is that true? If it does have a PRAM battery, I need a webpage for PRAM batteries with prices. Also, it has a SCSI adapter since the SCSI port on the Wall street is nonstandard. His adapter looks like a pin is missing. He said it came looking like that. He did not have a SCSI peripheral to demo the adapter. When he did a demo on the internal zip drive, he just opened the ZIP Tools disc window and commented on the loud sound of the ZIP drive. It sounds like my old ZIP, but I'm remembering that some ZIPs were recalled due to chatter problem and for ruining zip discs. I don't know if he had a recalled zip drive. Then, when he unplugged the laptop from the wall, it died. He finally confessed that the battery was not holding a charge. So I need a website for a battery and the price. I went to the webpage that a nice list person sent me today. It says that this model usually goes for $500- $700. So, I'm a little nervous about the low price. I asked him to meet me at a Mac place to have it checked over next week. I have a gift certificate to that store from my User group. I told him I'd apply my $50 gift cert toward the inspection of the laptop. Maybe that was too generous on my part. He is giving me several licensed software programs that I need, but I need to iron out these other issues. He seemed a bit too attached to receiving the $200 right away. Any help and info regarding these issues would me appreciated. Wow, this is like buying a used car. Jocelyn The Wallstreet does have a rechargeable PRAM battery. If the main battery is dead, then it may explains why the PRAM is dead. I think you need a good battery in order for the PRAM to recharge, but I'm not 100% sure. IIRC, the SCSI pin is normal. There are 30 pins on the Wallstreet while on regular cables, it's 29 pins. Again, this is off memory, so I could be wrong. Wallstreet don't fetch $500-$700. Do a search on eBay for completed items. They go from around $200 to $400 depending on the condition and the accessories that come with it. For a battery, there is laptops-battery.com.

An older, cheaper 5300 or 1400 battery works (only one cell), but will not last as long, and won't sleep for long without battery or AC. But only cost me $US3 each. They have the same internal connector.

Lombard PRAM battery
I've had my (US model) Lombard/333 since January 2000 and it has served me faithfully. However, recently it has been losing the volume settings on a regular basis - after resetting the PRAM, I'm coming to the conclusion the PRAM battery may be nearing the end of its life. Unfortunately, replacements seem to be $50+, plus shipping to the UK. Before I part with the cash, can anyone suggest other options or sources of cheaper alternatives? Is it a false economy to buy one of the 'used' PRAM batteries advertised for around $25? thanks, Steph London, UK -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
