I need a new PRAM battery for my 867MHz Ti Powerbook (model A1025).
I just wanted the battery, which is a fairly easy swap on the PRAM unit with a bit of soldering, so I ordered on from here: http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_lir3032-vdy2.htm. It's a 3.6V rechargeable LIR-3032.
Trouble is, Li-ion batteries are very restricted in how they can be shipped (have been implicated in in-flight fires), so the company won't post it out to NZ, and neither will my UK mail forwarding service.
In the absence of a UK relative going through the hoops to get it sent to me, are there any alternatives to the PRAM unit?
Can I use the more commonly available non-rechargeable 3V CR3032 and somehow disconnect the charging circuit?
