New Pismo! New battery...?

[J English Smith]

Just got a 400mhz Pismo with good RAM, etc. on eBay. I'm excited to finally get a Pismo after all of these years! Working online with my Powerbook 1400s made me long for more speed yet something with the classic Mac OS and form factor. The battery is described as holding a charge but I imagine that it will be fairly tired...what is the best price/quality mix for aftermarket batteries for the Pismo?

Wow! I got it last night...nice clean 400mhz Pismo with 512k ram...dual boot...wonderful machine! I think I'm in love with Mac all over again! Booted it up last night, the airport card found my home network, on the net within 2 minutes. Not too shabby for a nine year old!

If the battery holds any charge at all, cycle it through a few full charge/discharge use cycles, and you might find it improves.

Right... It seems to be a pretty good battery, I think my seller was actually quite conservative in his description. I'm going to treat it well and see how the runtime goes.

LiIon...What a change from the NiMh batteries for my 1400...after that average runtime, anything will seem long!
