Subject: Re: Buying Replacement Pismo Batteries: Experiences?

I did an extensive check of prices about 5 months ago, and got mine from Batteries.com. Very satisfied. On a related thread, I saw something on another list about being able to replace the cells in a Pismo battery. Anyone know from whom you'd buy the cells, and what the process is? --David Steph

Re: Buying Replacement Pismo Batteries: Experiences?

Interesting. I've heard this before, but in my case, keeping the Ti plugged in most of the time (almost always), I only recently noticed the battery is not staying charged for more than 60-75 minutes. Got the 400 during the middle period of their release so it's been a few years. Don Bruce Mitche

Hi folks, For what it's worth, I too recently purchased a NewerTech 6600mAh battery for my Pismo from Other World Computing. I haven't had it long enough to check the actual working time on a charge, but the "Battery Status Indicator" shows 4:06 at 99% capacity (it showed 4:57 at 100% capacity

Folks: I just bought a battery (6600mAh) for one of our Pismo's from Otherworld. They have 5400mAh and 6600mAh replacement batteries for the Pismo/Lombard which they list as 12.5 and 37.5% higher in capacity than the original Apple battery (doing the math calculates the standard OEM Apple batt

I bought one about a month ago from OWC (macsales.com). It's a NewerTech 6600mAh battery that is something like 37% more capacity. On Panther, with my Airport card in (mind you this is a 400mhz), I get 5 hours on a charge. Nolen On Feb 6, 2004, at 12:59 AM, Laurent Daudelin wrote: on 06/

Hi Folks I'm considering a new Pismo Battery (maybe I may also get the existing one exchanged, but later). I was wondering about the availability and compatibilty of Lithium Ion Extended Life Batteries for my Pismo: http://www.truedataonline.com/xq/asp/file.item/itemID.APB-M7318/qx/ 11.1V 5400mA
