    Howdy! As RJKUCIA mentioned, I have NOS third party Clamshell iBook batteries that I saved from a local school district's e-waste bin. I'm going to list them later this summer, but in the meanwhile I've been offering them to 68kMLA members in need for $50, shipping included in the United States.
    If you're interested in one and can hold out for a week and a half, I'm happy to send one your way.

    LMFAO. Yes. I think you may be at that point. I am hoping that they will last 3 hours. That would be amazing. This one was solid at close to 6 for a few days now it will only go about an hour at most. They just aren't out there. That is the problem. Parts and batteries just don't exist out here anymore for these old systems and it is a shame.

    Agreed. My iBook is pretty rough, but it still runs and has a nice bright screen. It's running one of the oldest batteries in the collection and I can get a few hours out of it.

    I just got a notice from USPS that the package should arrive on Saturday by 9:00 PM. Here's the tracking number: 9405503699300604892987

    That is awesome. 3 hours would be amazing. This one was super solid the first day and then just went to poop. I am trying to find an app like coconut battery to test it. This thing is pretty flawless. Can't believe I found it.
