H1! I just bought a used Duo 280 with one functioning Type II Apple brand battery. I really like this little machine, so I splurged and also bought a new BTI NiMh battery Model MC-T4 (which is supposed to be compatible with 210 through 280C).
After a dozen futile and frustrated tries to insert the new battery solidly, I am convinced the BTI battery can't seat. It's not loose, it doesn't wiggle, the latch is solid - but the Duo does not "see" it. (It's also a MAJOR pain to get it back OUT of the Duo.) Is this a fluke? Or is it characteristic of the brand? Is it possible I'm putting it in wrong (seems unlikely, but then again, this is my first laptop)? Is there another brand battery I should try that will fit dependably? (and who has decent prices? Yikes!) Thanks from a newbie, Jeanne ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
