Found this reference in the "Kbase" at Apple. Not too helpful.

This article describes the two small contacts on the underside of the
iBook.
Products Affected
iBook
On the bottom of the iBook above the battery cover are alternative
battery charging contacts, shown in the image below. These contacts
provide an alternate method for charging the iBook's battery in
addition to the AC Adapter. An example would be a rack system where
multiple iBook computers could be charged simultaneously, each in
their own charging bay.
Apple does not sell a battery recharging station that takes advantage
of these battery charging contacts, but a third party company may
release one.
