Just when I needed the 'portability' factor of my PowerBook, the  
(exchange programme) battery died on me... Wasn't the charger as I got  
the same result with the 2 I've got so took the PB into the Genius Bar  
at the Brighton Store (then just opened) and the tested it for me...  
Battery was very dead so I bought one from them £80+ due to the  
urgency and they tested that it was charging OK before I left the  
store...

I'm sure you can get alternative batteries elsewhere for less but the  
service I got met my immediate need well !

Dear All,
I've looked around various threads but not found out what one has to
try first and how to do it when it seems that a PB battery will no
longer charge. I have a 1.5 Ghz Power PC G4 with OSX 10.4.11. The info
on the battery is:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full charge capacity mAh: 681
Remaining Capacity mAh: 669
Amperage mA: 0
Voltage mV: 12267
Cycle count: 123
AC Charger watts: 50
Connected: Yes
Charging: No

Any suggestions or do I assume the battery has come to the end of its
useful life?

Many thanks

Tilly
