I did an extensive check of prices about 5 months ago, and got mine from
Batteries.com. Very satisfied. On a related thread, I saw something on
another list about being able to replace the cells in a Pismo battery.
Anyone know from whom you'd buy the cells, and what the process is?

Interesting. I've heard this before, but in my case, keeping the Ti plugged in
most of the time (almost always), I only recently noticed the battery is not
staying charged for more than 60-75 minutes. Got the 400 during the middle
period of their release so it's been a few years.

Hi Folks
I'm considering a new Pismo Battery (maybe I may also get the existing

exchanged, but later). I was wondering about the availability and
compatibilty of Lithium Ion Extended Life Batteries for my Pismo:
I bought one about a month ago from OWC (macsales.com). It's a
NewerTech 6600mAh battery that is something like 37% more capacity. On
Panther, with my Airport card in (mind you this is a 400mhz), I get 5
hours on a charge.

I didn't try the NewerTech since the ones from laptops-battery.com were
cheaper, so I can't tell. laptops.battery.com says their are 4000mAh while
NewerTech claims 5400mAh...

Folks:
I just bought a battery (6600mAh) for one of our Pismo's from
Otherworld. They have 5400mAh and 6600mAh replacement batteries for the
Pismo/Lombard which they list as 12.5 and 37.5% higher in capacity than
the original Apple battery (doing the math calculates the standard OEM
