[QUOTE="badmuthahubbard, post: 388019, member: 18748"] Hi. My wife has a tangerine G3 iBook for which we bought a new battery a while back. The battery status shows up, but it always says 0%, no matter how long it's plugged in, even if she has the comp turned off for a while and plugged in. When she starts up, whether the battery is in or not, there is always a reset time and date message, and the date resets to 1969. I can think of two possibilities. First is that the battery, which is "compatible" - we were unable to find genuine Macintosh, of course - is just no good. Second is that there may be another back up battery which powers date & time storage, like there was in my blue & white G3 that I had to replace, after which it worked fine. Anyone know if an iBook would have a little battery like that that might need replaced, or where I could find one? Thankye. -Chuckk [/QUOTE]
