I tried fixing a 520 battery , but after I got it off, could not get
the latching thingie with the spring to work, so now it won't stay in
the slot without tape.

Hi,
These descriptions on <http://macs.freeshell.org/powerbook/index.htm>
look promising. I have an PB 180c I would love to run on battery
again. Has anyone tried these suggestions and perhaps made pics? I
have no idea what awaits me if I open the battery case (and how do I
do that?).
never tried it with PB180 batteries but did rebuild one for my
PB 540.
Sorry, no pictures available. I would say:
If you get it open, there is nothing inside to be scared of :)
There are some cells and probably a small circuit board.
To open it, it might be that you have to use some force.
Then use a really sharp knife and cut it open.
Note on a paper how they are connected and rebuild this with
new cells. It might be that the two parts of the case will not
stick together by themselfes after opening it. Try some adhesive...
Try it on a battery that is already dead, so you have nothing to loose.
Good luck ! It might be worth it. With up-to-date 2200 mA cells
my PB540 keeps going much longer then with an new, original battery.
