Does Batteries Plus carry laptop batteries for older machines? I know they stock them for older cell phones and I'd be interested to see if anyone here has ever bought a PowerBook battery there.
I've got a 170 that currently is getting about 20 minutes (maximum) from its original 1992 battery. I'd love to get this computer running without it again as it's turning into a very dependable (albeit corded) word processor in class. The simplicity of the machine is amazing plus it's been the subject of some interesting comments--someone asked me if it was even a real computer!
Along the same line I've also got an iBook G3 (clamshell) and a Toshiba T1200 that could use new batteries...does Batteries Plus ever publish catalogs? (The store is sort of out of my way so I don't typically get around to stopping in to look for any of these batteries--and it seems every time I drive past it I'm coming home from a Pittsburgh Pirates game at 10-11PM).
