I have seen the Apple PowerBook G3, 3400, 5300, 190: Battery Interchangeability Article, and done the research on the FAQ and the WWW, but now I want testimonies from the resident GuRus on the list... I've run 3400 batteries in the 5300 before, and they work great and last a very long time.

I've heard System 7.5.2 still has the capability of charging the 3400's LiIon battery, but I don't know if that's a fact That's System 7.5.2 with PowerBook 5300 Enabler. It should recharge the original Sony Li-Ion battery, as that was the OS/hardware combination that was originally intended to

As Roger points out, a 5300 cannot charge a LiIon battery (AFAIK), but can indeed run on one. A couple of eons (errr . . . years) ago, I tested a 5300C with a 3400 battery. I recall that at full clip (no powersaving at all) it got something over 4 hours of runtime. Not sure now how much over,
