Has anyone rebuilt a PowerBook 500 series battery? If so, are there any decent guides or documentation of this in 68kmla? I tried searching around a bit but nothing jumped out right away.
I'm guessing I could just rebuild it with NiMH AA cells? Does the smart part of the battery need to be reset or replaced in any way?
I'm hoping that with modern NiMH cells the computer will see even better run times than when it was new. I have 4 of them in decent condition, and one that has a lot of corrosion on the connector/leaked a bit. I'd like to rebuild the 4 that are still in good shape (though all dead).
Thanks
