I'm looking for a new batter for my iceBook 600, and all I can find are the newer "opaque white" batteries for the current crop of iBooks. Maybe I'm just being picky, but I'd like to buy a new battery that will match the lovely crystal white case of my late 2001 iBook.

Any ideas on where I can buy one?

I've got the same iBook (Late 2001 iBook) and bought one from Apple just a month ago. They should still be available, part number for mine was M8433G/B.

Cool! Thank you!

The Apple Store no longer stocks these. Does anyone know where I can buy one?

Well I'm in the same boat..

my 500 mhz white icebook is 2 years old now, and I'm on my 2nd battery on it..

I traded for a new ibook battery with a family member who never unplugs her ibook and use her new opaque white battery on my clear white ibook.

The differences in plastic are noticable You can see the difference, but its not something that makes a huge difference.

I get 3 hours of time on my ibook with the "new" battery. My old one was down to a bit over an hour.
