Kris you got some excellent insight on the DIY bit I asked about. What would be the name of the cells with this bit of soldered strip of metal be named?
I think the shrink wrap is doable. On inspecting the Powerbook G3 Pismo and their kin, it looks like a soft plastic was used and then sort of blow dried to cause shrinking and a tight fit. I wonder if a tiny balloon can be used. On second thought, balloon rubber really likes static so scratch that. I would imagine it must be something nonconductive to avoid any accident. Not that the small module of batteries could ever be set free, they fit snuggly but someone may not fit a screw back on after a repair, it could run loose inside the machine and cause a short. I wonder what materials and processes are used in these little packages of batteries but indeed some non conductive tape could be a great solution and the original parts from the dead PRAM battery module could be recycled. Thanks for offering your points of view. I appreciate it. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
