Re: Is there a 3400 or 2400 battery charger?
I've a vague feeling that this has been discussed on the list before a couple of years ago and we decided that there were several distinct chargers. Right you are Malcolm. Ok, here's more info than any of y'all really wanted to know . . . VST (now SmartDisk) made at least three versions of the 190/5300/3400 chargers. The first is for NiMH 190/5300 batteries only, the VST Charger 5000 (SCH5000), with the 190/5300-style power input socket only. For the PowerBook 3400 VST produced a new model, the VST Charger 3400 (SCH3400) which can charge the 3400's lithium batteries along with the older NiMH packs, and it added as well a second power socket for the 3400's power supply plug. With the arrival of the 3500 VST produced a new revision of the SCH3400 charger which can handle charging the higher capacity Kanga batteries. Confusingly, the 3500-capable model carries the same VST Charger 3400 (SCH3400) model name. I can't recall if there is any externally marked revision number difference, might be, been awhile :-P However, I do recall that the earlier rev SCH3400 cannot charge Kanga batteries. Somewhere I have another make charger, 190/5300-only IIRC, might be Absolute-brand come to think of it . . . I've never ever seen any standalone charger for 2400 batteries, but maybe I missed it. Lol ! Nice one Dan. Interested in the higher capacity of the 3500 battery, as I've never had any issues charging their batts in my 3400 charger, so I must have one of the later ones. Btw - is it just me or were these the best batts Apple ever made - I'm still getting good life out of most of these that I see. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

In a message dated 1/22/06 1:28:35 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a battery charger that just plugs into the wall and charges either 2400 or 3400 powerbook batteries? There is a VST one for the 3400/5300/190, but you need a mains adapter for it, charges 2 batts. You can use either the 5300/190 or the 3400 adapter on the one I have. The VST battery charger - the one always seen on Ebay for $5 or $10 - requires the use of the AC adapter from the 5300/190 Powerbook to charges 5300/190 NiMH batteries. Using it to charge 3400c batteries requires the use of the seldom-seen internal AC adapter for the 3400c. The internal AC adapter module has two ports on the outside: one for the 2-prong AC cord, and a small port for a cord that runs from the module to the VST battery charger. Correct me if I am mistaken, anyone... Now, Absolute made a battery charger that charges 5300/190 NiMH, and 3400c Li-Ion battery by itself; it uses its own AC adapter.

Re: Is there a 3400 or 2400 battery charger?
I believe I saw one on eBay a while back, but I can't remember who had it, but I think it was going for under $50. I remember seeing it when I was looking to replace my PowerBook 190 a while back. I'm sure the 3400 is easier to find than the 2400, though.
