My PB145 works fine with charged battery, dead battery, or no battery at all. I just booted it not 5 minutes ago without one. The only thing that would prevent booting was a bad or totally dead battery. In the case of totally dead, plugging in the PB (off, not asleep) with battery over a weekend.
Incidentally, does anyone know how to open up a PB 1xx battery pack without damaging it? Or with a minimal amount of damage? And does anyone know an approximate average Amp-Hour rating for a normal 6V lantern battery? -Eric J ===== PB145, iceBook Classic II(x2), Performa 405,IIci 6100/66 DOS Compatible, Blue and White G3 and random bits and pieces You are not drowning in old computer parts until you start charting tides... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
