[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 659487, member: 56379"] Well...although I am disappointed that thus far I have received no replies to my original post on how to rebuild a Powerbook 1400 battery (or where to find replacement batteries). Maybe this is because no one is messing around with PB 1400's anymore...or hasn't been daring enough or frugal enough to try to rebuild the battery. I believe I have found a source for replacement batteries, and ordered them. The next step will be to dismantle the original battery pack, and assemble & solder the new battery pack together. If all works out, the rebuild will cost about 1/3rd to 1/2 the cost of a new "ready to use" battery...AND it will have approximately 20% more battery life.:[ - Nick [/QUOTE]
