Well it would help us out quite a bit if you mentioned what model Powerbook G4 you have!

Apple released around 24 different models of the Powerbook G4.

Sorry,

1.67 ghz. Is that the model or just the CPU speed?

That helps...but there still are about 4 models to choose from with the 1.67ghz processor.

What is the display size (15" or 17")?

what size screen, 15 or 17 inch?

Are you in the USA, Canada, UK or somewhere else?

Hey...is there an echo in here?

p.s. Hey you edited your post to include the location info!

15" and im in the UK. Sorry I dont really know what info you require but please ask if you need any more.

I have found a good site for batteries in the UK

Go to the apple menu and select about this mac. Click more info and get the model number for your Powerbook

Then go to the following page and select the battery for your model number

yours should be a M9677LL/A or M9969LL/A

Apple PowerBook G4 15 Series Laptop Batteries

If you cannot locate the model number, use the macs info pane to get its serial number and paste it in to this site

Hey thanks Lou, thats greatly appreciated.

According to the german site my mac is a M9677 PowerBook G4 1.67GHz

I have to buy the battery from Ebay as I have a £20 voucher to use up within 48 hrs.

would this be ok?

Battery For Apple GB-APA1078 M9325 A1078 M9676 M9677 05 on eBay (end time 08-Oct-09 16:30:00 BST)

bump - anyone tell me if this is the correct battery? My EBay voucher time is running out.

Well, that looks like the one, 15" POwerbook and lists your model number

Go buy it!
