4.5 volts is the same as three 1.5 volt cells in series. If you're a bit handy with a soldering iron you can make one from 3 AA cells but you will need a meter to get the polarity right. Clean the contacts with a file prior to tinning. I have been taking 9 volt batteries apart to get 6 cells. That makes 2 computer batteries for about a US buck. Alkaline is alkaline. Lithiums give longer shelf life but if Apple uses alkalines it matters not. -- --> There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't <-- -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
