Anyone here have a PB 100 battery that still holds a charge? I just want to know if there are any still functional after two decades.

Also, if you do have a PB 100 battery that does not charge please post here saying so!

Don't know if it counts, I have a powerbook 170, if I leave it plugged for a while, the battery will run the machine for about 30 min afterwards.

its original.

It got me by surprise. Sometimes my son turns off the power bar (for fun) :-D

Yes, that's impressive for a 20-year-old battery.
