PowerBook 5300-gotchas?
Posted by: croissantking on 2025-01-06 14:08:19 That'd be wonderful, remember, I'm in the UK and my guess is that with a name like "Potomac", you might be in Washington DC? They're local!

Posted by: Snial on 2025-08-17 03:49:19 I’ve just rebuilt my PB1400c battery. I used tabbed ‘A’ cells that I got off eBay, and soldered them together. I get between 1:30 to 2 hours runtime in this configuration. The correct batteries to get are the 4/3A ones if you want the most runtime possible, but you ideally need a spot welder as clearance is tight. View attachment 67776 Every-so-often I keep searching for this post as it seems like a simpler way to rebuild a PowerBook 1400 battery, but most of the search terms I use keep missing. So here I'll just list my likely search terms: "Rebuild PowerBook 1400 Battery" "Rebuild PowerBook 1400 Battery NiMh" "Rebuild PowerBook 1400 Battery Nubs" "Rebuild PowerBook 1400 Battery Solder" ""Rebuild PowerBook 1400 Battery 4/3 A" (it's just an A battery, but searching for either should match).
