An update: I have attempted to manufacture a replacement battery pack, using Battery 2. I put in two 4xAA battery packs, wired in series, and loaded with 8 2500mAH NiMH AA batteries. It puts out 10v, the same as Battery 1 with rounding.
The Powerbook will boot, but only for that 2 second delay it has before the hard drive spins up. The second that happens, the screen doesn't get enough power and the powerbook shuts down.
I think this happening because the old battery pack put out 3500mAH, and these only put out 2500mAH. The hard drive uses up 500mA, which is a LOT.
So does anyone know a place/site that sells very high capacity AA batteries, such as 3500 or even 4000 mAH?
