Agreed, doesn't make sense. IIRC, they had high wH ratings, but any Mac shop will sell you what is a '3400/3500' battery.
AFAIK, the input voltage on PBs is all 24v on the AC. Different models do have varying input battery voltage ratings, however. The 1400 is around 9.6V, while the 5300/190 run at around 14.4v. 3400s/Kangas can use the NiMH 190/5300 batteries and I'm pretty sure the 3400/3500 also run on 14.4v batteries. The diff is that the 3400 shipped with a 32Wh battery, while the Kanga had a 47Wh. TiBook now ships with a 55Wh battery, I think. No idea of the battery input voltage.
