Any hope for PB 1xx batteries?

I have a stack of dead PB 1xx batteries - NiCd type. They show the typical signs of use (they only run the system for about 10 minutes.) Is there anything that can be done that might get these batteries to at least hold some charge (say 45 mins or so) or are they just scrap? -- Flint Million Mai

Hi there, I have bought two batteries for my 190 PowerBook on eBay for $5 each, at different times. Now I don't know the difference between the ones you have and the ones I bought (new "old" pb user), but just thought I'd let you know. Cheers, Leeb *23* ^^

Hey, I've got an idea to use an army-surplus 50-cal ammo can as a case for the innards af an old PowerBook, and I was wondering if anyone has an old PB 180, 190, or Duo 280/2300 with the active color screen that they'd be willing to part with for a song. The case of course doesn't have to be i

I think it is OK. The seller of the 5300 mobo says the voltage regulator board is under the track pad, so that has to be the power supply board. Thank goodness. I'm hoping to install a 36 Mb memory chip in the 150 to max it out. Oh, Makmac, thanks for the tech manual offer but I already found
