This site had useful info about replacing a "PRAM" battery:

But otherwise I wasn't able to find much about the "main" battery in my PowerBook 230 Duo. I think at this point I want mostly to know:
- Why does the battery have five contact pads, if all it needs to provide to the PowerBook is +12VDC and ground?
- Can I just use any NiMH cells (or other power technology!) that will fit in the battery case to rebuild it, or do I need to exactly match the charge/discharge specs of the original cells?
- How much power does the PowerBook 230 actually draw from the battery when it is in operation?
