[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 910440, member: 8287"] First on the battery, it's called the PRAM Battery. You will find it in a google search and all over Ebay. If the date was that much off you can be sure the PRAM battery is dead. Not an issue at all. Just get another. All Power Macs I have worked with use the same 3.6Volt round battery. On the other issues, I never really trust a lot of inverters to provide clean power. I have showed close friends the ripple and dirty AC on a Scope many times with a lot of inverters and you can also in some cases hear the power supply HUM plugged into the inverter but not when it's right into the AC Outlet. I really don't trust my computer on an inverter unless it provides really clean AC. The Lock Up could be the OS install is messed up and might have not been anything to do with the inverter. Do keep us posted. I love working with the older Power Macs! [/QUOTE]
