Re: Batteries
I'm not looking for a debate. I'm just wondering why a lithium ion battery would not charge in a 5300. Because Apple says so! The prototype 5300s did have LiOn batteries. Then there was the the event that started the flaming battery rumors. I'm not going to say what happened because I don't know and the story is clear as mud. But something happened and Apple replaced the LiOn with NiMH and redesigned it to not charge LiOn. Then the 3400 and latter the G3 came out and they do have LiOn. They can charge and use either NiMH or LiOn. -- ___ Would those have been the ones associated with reports of fire? Wasn;t that at a very early time in the development of Li-on cells.

Well if that's the case then a 1400 would be great. If you get a 1400c then graphic work is pretty good. I have one and it is nice to carry around and use just about anywhere, however becasue it have a build-in drive slot it may be a little big for some in which case you may want a Power Book 2400 instead.

All help and advice would be Caleb I recently aquired a 1400 and am the process of beefing it up. It didn't have a CD but did have 2 x PSU's! 24MB RAM and now a 6GB HD (so has my Pismo) and a wireless card (not much luck with that yet) and have ordered a reasonable battery from a trusted seller on eBay (I've previously bought a CD and a processor upgrade for the 1400 from him) It has ethernet in place of a modem card but since I moved the card I've lost ethernet :-( It worked previously so I can only assume it's down to me fiddling I also have a G3 Pismo that I'm about to put on eBay. The G3 is a better computer than the 1400 hands down - but it's keyboard sucks. On top of that the keyboard just looks cheap and nasty, like all that multi coloured translucent junk that came out in the wake of the 'Fruit' iMacs. I have an iMac rev C and a G3 233 as my main and backup machines The 1400 is a nice robust machine - let's face it, if we all had the choice we'd go for the top of the range PowerBook Back on earth I intend to use my 1400 for basic wp and will use it as a as a glorified PDA/email/light surfing mobile around the flat (apartment to you USA types ;-) ) My master plan is to get a Mini as a main machine and stick my 20 Apple monitor on it I'm quite happy to spend some money on the 1400 for the same reason others have mentioned - the keyboard. It is superb. have the following: PB100, 180, 540, 1400, 5300 and a G3 and the 1400 has the best keyboard of all of them Why not get both?

Oh, no!
Today, I picked up my PowerBook in a bag, and was walking down the stairs, when all of a sudden, I heard a loud BANG! on the floor...I hesitated for a moment, and then looked down, and saw the PowerBook on the ground. The lid latch had broken off, but I'm not concerned with that at this moment... I started it up, and it said that there was a problem with RAM, and it was really sluggish to start up. The only RAM that the PB sees is the 16MB built in to the logic board. I took the keyboard off and reseated the module, but alas, it didn't work. Is there something wrong with just the RAM card or the logic board? Also, anyone know where I can get a new latch for the display? Thanks in advance...

Because Apple says so! The prototype 5300s did have LiOn batteries. Then there was the the event that started the flaming battery rumors. I'm not going to say what happened because I don't know and the story is clear as mud. But something happened and Apple replaced the LiOn with NiMH and redesigned it to not charge LiOn. Then the 3400 and latter the G3 came out and they do have LiOn. They can charge and use either NiMH or LiOn. -- ___ Would those have been the ones associated with reports of fire? Yes Wasn;t that at a very early time in the development of Li-on cells. Yes Would anyone have any information as to whether a laptop battery should NOT be rebuilt with Li-on cells? The biggest problem with rebuilding a LiON is cell availability. The are rarely available as individual cells and finding the right form factor cells is going to be harder still. You would only want to rebuild a LiON battery pack with LiON cells. There is a part inside the battery packs which tells the computer (charging circuit) what kind of battery it is. If you were to rebuild a NiMH pack with LiON cells the pack would still be identified as NiMH and the results could be BAD (tm). -- ??? The Nimh cells I have charge at a slower/lower rate than the Lion cells I have For various things around the house. Sellers of the Lion cells say they will charge in any charger but sell special ones for high charge rates that recarge very fast. I have no idea what form factor fits inside the 5300 battery pack But recently looked for 4/3 A batteries for my7 1400 and Li-on batteries that size are available. But as you say the electronics may( or may not? ) present a problem in switching over. Current limits, float / cutoff voltages and in some cases temperature limits are all likely different between the two. Lithium are likely to have a higher maximum charge current. Thus if you use a NiMH charger it will take longer. The float / cutoff voltage is likely different between the two. I don't know what they are. But they are almost certainly different. If the charger voltage is lower than the battery it won't charge fully. If it's higher it will likely damage the battery. The thing I've found with all rechargeable batteries is that the better the charger the longer they last and the more operating time you get from them. Which means that using a charger meant for a different type of battery is nothing but trouble.

Caleb -- I have not dropped it yet . But It has moved a lot and has been banged around a bit. Never a whimper from it. I really like it. At a stock 166 MHz it handles things outside the house just fine. Even some 1024X960 pics in Photoshop. With only 40 MB RAM and an 18 MB overhead in RAM from running OS 9.1 ( because I like the features and I couldn't find my *.5 disk when I needed a reinstall). 8.6 is certainly better for the RAM limits though. And I don't like a constantly grinding hard drive so I don't use VM.

Thanks for the advice, Caleb -- A 1400 would be exactly what you are looking for. It's on of my favorite Macs and you don't have to be too paranoid about it being stolen either. I have a 1400c/166 I use sometimes when I can just so my AlG4 doesn't get stolen. The G4 kinda attracts attention. And there are lots of 1400's and add-ons for sale. And lots of cool stuff you can get for a 1400. I am not very good at typing, have big clumsy fingers and the 1400's keyboard works good for me and I think it has a better feel than my G4 Powerbook's keyboard. And you can get a pretty decent 1400 set-up for a little more than $50.00. -- Ron ___ And some funky stickers for OS 8 or so would add further to the anti theft camoflage. -- Adrian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
