Title: Powerbook Battery - consumer reactions, please
Post by: RHPConsult on May 19, 2003, 10:54:10 AM

My Pismo is on the cusp of requiring a battery "transplant".

Apple's OEM versions are fairly expensive: ranging low-to-mid-200 bucks.

BTI has them much less - ranging mid-100 bucks.

Anyone out there informed about quality/price issues in purchasing replacement Powerbook Li-ion batteries?

I'd very much appreciate hearing something.

Thanks, Kelly.

That MacOpinions article was dead on. My experience exactly.

I really appreciate the reference.
