Lithium Ion cells are really ideal for low-current needs. They have the best discharge rate of all the commonly available cells, but aren't as strong when it comes to high-current applications. This makes them ideal for clocks, smoke detectors, PalmPilots, or anything else which presents a small but constant drain. For applications like these, they'll outlast any other common battery. And they can be recharged!
A Powerbook represents a heavy current drain, however. You COULD use them, if you have access to them cheaply, but you'd want to use enough of them in parallel to assure you of meeting the heavy current drain. That's do-able! Let me know the power requirements of the model you plan to put them in. You may want to consider an external Lithium-Ion battery pack, because you may need more cells than you can jam into the original battery pack case. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
