Lots of Juice

The NewerTech battery arrived from Other World Computing today for my organization's Revision A G4 "Titanium" Powerbook. In addition to beefing up the RAM to one gigabyte and installing a new Hitachi eighty gigabyte hard drive, this battery is the icing on the cake to replace the original that had long given up the juice.

NewerTech even has a battery recycling program, where you pack your old and more than likely, dead battery, inside the same box the new battery arrived in. A pasting of the attached UPS sticker is all that's required to seal it before being picked up by a UPS parcel delivery agent. NewerTech makes this painless and the return is free of charge.

It's gushing with enthusiasm!

Putting the new seventy-four watt battery to work after a calibration cycle, will juice the G4 TiPB for six plus hours with all the bells and whistles singing. Without a doubt, the battery is the corner stone of a laptop computer. Without a properly functioning battery, you are dead in the water. And with many MacUsers afflicted with battery fatigue and failure, having a brand new battery is certainly liberating.
