the $110 to $130 range

Hello All, I have my first portable Mac, a PB 5300c. The NiMh battery is
almost dead, I run it with the AC adapter via an inverter in my car. I'm in
Sydney Australia and am having trouble buying a new battery. Are they still
available? The PB is great when used with my old Quicktake 150 camera[same
vintage I think] Cheers William

Lion in 5300

IIRC, the PB3400 battery will power up the 5300 quite well. However, I am certain that 
the 5300 will not *charge* the battery. The 5300 was the first to try to ship with a 
Lion, and suffered the infamous flaming battery problem while with some developers. 
Apple kludged the 5300 at the last minute to use NiMH batteries, disabling the Lion 
charging ability in the process.
