Incidentally, does anyone know how to open up a PB 1xx battery pack
without damaging it? Or with a minimal amount of damage?
And does anyone know an approximate average Amp-Hour rating for a
normal 6V lantern battery?
I can see where you're going with this, cuz I've been down
My PB145 works fine with charged battery, dead battery, or no battery
at all. I just booted it not 5 minutes ago without one. The only thing
that would prevent booting was a bad or totally dead battery. In the
case of totally dead, plugging in the PB (off, not asleep) with battery
over a weekend.

Brian,
The fuse you speak of is on the motherboard next to the battery
connector, it is a 5amp 125v surface mount. Usually the machine will
bootup with both a charged battery and AC adapter plugged in, have you
tried Booting up from a Norton utilities boot disk or an Apple disk tools
disk? I

My PowerBook 145 did that when I purchased it. It wouldn't start off Battery
of AC power.
Turns out the battery was toast and prevented it from starting up properly.
My solution was to run it with no battery and just off AC Power. Battery in,
