They have basically the same guts as the gray ones, and yes they are known leakers. I dont have a vice or tools to crack them open properly, so mine are way way way past overdue for restoration. Shame on me!

360alaska:  I really like that battery you have for sale.  How fast have they been selling off?  I'd like to pick one up after getting this board recapped, if it is fixable.  I just don't want to get stuck with a paperweight battery if my Portable will never run again if I order the battery prior to repairing the board.  Also, how servicable is your battery?  Is it something that I can rebuild myself in 8-10 years when it is spent?  Doesn't matter either way, just curious.  I like that it is a drop in unit with the posts already lined up.  If the logic board can be repaired, I will be buying one of your batteries.
To answer your question I have already sold a lot of portable batteries, you might be surprised to hear that this battery can be serviced... I also sell a hard drive adapter also.

Regards,

Josh

Awesome, thank you.  I'll be looking into ordering one in the next week or so hopefully.

Happy update.  After getting the logic board back from maccaps for a recapping and cleaning, everything appears to be working well 😀
