ive been searching the forums and learned much about the portable, how it utilizes both batteries and how the charger needs to be very specific and only charges the battery (does not power the computer) etc etc, but is there any reason no one seems to use a newer/replacement power brick? woudlnt it be possible to use something like this?
or any dc power brick that supplies 7.5v at 1.5a max? sorry i am not an electrical engineer, but curious why i cant find anyone doing this. most seem to hard wire alligator clips onto the installed battery with a trickle charger or something?
would love to know a bit more detail, before i start going down the road of rebuilding our original mac portable
thanks so much!
