Pretty much all desktop Macs made over the last few years use: "1/2 AA, 3.6 volt battery"
That's the description to give to the battery shop. A good place to go is Batteries Plus in Hutton St, Osbourne Park. Just next to the freeway. The battery will cost you around $12-13, and it's always worth keeping a spare one if you've got more than one Mac. Regards, Phil >Correct me if I am wrong but the battery on all macs are pretty much the >same... Look like a very short lithium AA type battery (note not >actually a 'AA' battery)....
