hi

I ahve a powerbook 520c and it needs a new PRAm battery but I cant find anywhre local that will sell one to me for a reasonable price one place said it would set me back £60!!!!!

So I am going to make one myself does anyone know the specs of the PRAM battery pictured HERE I know that it is two 3v batteries wired together but I need to know the capacity (max ....mAh)

if u would have properly read his post you would realize what a stupid comment that is, phantomdragonz.


anyhow, my best suggestion is to go out and buy a cordless phone battery that uses the same cells, i beleive they make them with that pictured type of cell. but seriously, the amperage is of little importance, if they look the same, and are the same voltage itll be fine.

Ok for that money are they going to install it?
if so that is not a bad deal you have to rip apart the entire power book to install it and the batt from apple cost around $30. it takes 45 mins to install it so keep that in mind.

The price was just for the battery, and did not include installation, besides I have the thing apart now -have to say it was well built

£60 is about $70 and I could buy a lot of ram for my iMac for that!!

Ok I rang a few other places, another pace said it would cost £84!!! and after that I just gave up.

I might order it from America, probably be a lot cheaper. Oh and when I get it I am going to send a nasty email to the two places that tried to rip me off
