While we are on the subject, does anyone know the trick in getting a Powerbook 5300 to use a li-ion battery from a Powerbook 3400c?
I've never had any problem doing this; all I do is plug in the 3400c battery and run the PowerBook off it. The 5300c will supposedly (I've never tested it) still charge a Li-ion battery if you are running the original System 7.5.2 that it shipped with; however, 7.5.2 is so unstable that nothing would make me want to run it on any machine.
The 5300 gets more than twice the uptime on a 3400c battery as it does on one of its own. Conversely, a 3400c can take a 5300c battery, but it only runs about half as long.
