Just another note.. according to Apple literature, the Type 3 Duo 2300
battery is rated 1.6 amp-hours.
If I am reading this correctly, making your own battery out of NiMH 4/5
cells (from batteriesamerica.com) should give you a battery (assuming you
dont blow yourself up) that is rates 2.15 amp-hours.
Who wouldnt like a longer lasting battery ?
