I've just ordered a BTI battery (hope it arrives before Friday when I leave for the cottage!) and I will probably send mine out for rebuilding later.

Mmmmm Pismo with DVD! Add to that built in Airport, and working IRDA! Now that is a machine I dream about owning... Some day... Which makes me wonder if Pismo internals would fit into my pristine Lombard case... I'd better stop right there and get back to work! [;^)

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave;
Just a couple of thoughts, OS X is a lot more processor intensive than OS 9
and over-clocking the CPU increases the amp-hour drain and the machine is
now in what; it's 5th or 6th year of service? Time to explore the purchase
of a new battery or rebuilding the one you got. This is from a Pismo owner
with two batteries I got when I bought the machine used for a year. I'm
getting about 2 hours on each one; maybe a little more than 4 when I use
both but that defeats the purpose of have a DVD player in the thing. Not
emensely portable, but nice if you do outdoor things, get an auto adaptor
and a 12 volt jumpstart/camping unit. Does 2 full length feature DVDs on one
charge.
