Caps! -- Macintosh Portable

Posted by: Macdrone on 2013-02-14 05:02:17 So recelled my battery using the exact cyclone replacements. Cost around 35 dollars with shipping so not great but happy to say it booted as I put it in since the batteries were mostly charged so I shut it down and am charging them now. 6.0.8 is on it. There is no battery meter installed so what does everyone use on these? I want to stay with 6.0.8 since I only have 2 Meg's of ram.

Posted by: Macdrone on 2013-02-14 12:28:23 I totally looked over it. Instead of being in the control panels it is in the drop down before it. My lack of not having a system 6 portable I guess. Thank you.

Posted by: aplmak on 2013-11-15 18:29:15 Well I did it.. It didn't take too long.. The battery off of ebay that looks like this.. I had to shave some plastic off of the columns of batteries and I did that with a wire clipper.. Then I bent the gold contacts back and folded the end and it match right where to solder.. I soldered both sides slid it in and whala!! Sorry Uniserve I may have posted this in the wrong thread..
