Title: LF: Titanium PowerBook PRAM battery
Post by: dbv on November 18, 2007, 05:12:10 PM
Hi,

I'd like to buy a TiBook (867 MHz) PRAM battery, if anyone has any for sale. If anyone knows where to get them locally, that'd also be great.

Thanks.

No cigar. None of the stores have them and Alexander Battery hasn't seen that battery before...

It looks like this is more than just a battery:

The battery looks like it has welded contacts, so you can't just swap the cell. All of the online stores I tried were out of stock.

That's just brilliant design by Apple, isn't it? Thanks for your help.
