I got a Macintosh portable with the original battery, and of course, the battery was dead and wouldn't charge. I looked online about how to (try and) turn it on. It worked but the only weird thing about it is that I need to use a Powerbook power adapter with it (good thing it came with both a Macintosh portable charger and Powerbook charger) and I kinda got to fiddle with it a little bit to get it on. But, I turned it on for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the happy mac! Now, I need a new battery and I know you can make one for super cheap. I know that it needs to be a 6v/5amp battery though. I'm pretty sure you can get one at Walmart for around $10, maybe like this one. You would also need gator clips (or other wires), but I don't know of a store nearby that sells them or how much they would be. Any help or advice?
