All the stuff I've seen from Apple says you can use 5300 batteries in newer models in which they fit. The reverse isn't true though. The 5300 was supposed to be LiOn but since a few of the early ones kind of caught fire Apple dropped them and used NiMh. With later models they did use LiOn. The charging circuits of later PBs work with any of them (I think there are actually three types of batteries in that form factor.) -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
