What voltage and amp rating is the power brick (don't have one)?

PowerBook 100 Series M5140 The first AC adapter, 15 W, came with PowerBook 100, 140, and 170 computers.

Note: This adapter was replaced by model M4662.

M5651 The second AC adapter, 19 W, came with the PowerBook 145b, 160, 165, and 180. This adapter works with PowerBook 140, 145, 145b, 160, 165, 170, and 180 computers.

Note: This adapter was replaced by model M4662.

M5652 The third AC adapter, 24 W, is identified with 24 W on the AC adapter tip. This adapter came with PowerBook 165c and 180c computers, and works with PowerBook 140, 145, 145b, 160, 165, 165c, 170, 180, and 180c computers.

Note: This adapter was replaced by model M4662.

Those three are the one that work. The M5651 that I have has an output of DC 7.5V and 2.0 A.

So I need to remove the battery and it will boot from just the brick?

Yup.
