Batteries?
« on: March 29, 2003, 04:22:00 AM »
Is there any sort of guage that can be applied to the durability of batteries?

I currently use an old 350 iMac with a gazillion hours on it. (16 out of 24 X 3 years).

I have an older Centris and SE and + that are not often used these days, but still fire up and run when asked.

I've never replaced the battery in any of my Macs. Does that explain why I still think like Steve and Woz may have in the 80's?

Roger, I have PRAM Battery Checker 1.02 running on OS9.2.2

I don't know if there's a more recent version. You put it in the startup items folder and forget it. When the battery starts to run low, it warns you.
