Battery swapping

[BillyBoy]

Hi All,

Quick question. Can the iBook handle me swapping batteries over whilst connected to an external power supply?

Cheers,

BB

yes as long as you are still connected to a power supply... only the powerbook can switch batteries and not loose information with out turning the computer off with no power supply attached.

well you learn something new everday. I didnt know you could do that with the powerbook.

as for pluggin a battery in when its on the mains, i did that once in 10.3.9 and got a kernal panic so i havent tried it since

yeah it stores enough energy to keep the ram powered (putting the computer to sleep) when the screen is closed to take the battery out with out having to completly shut down the system.
