It might be I've been lucky, I have 3 black and white PowerBooks - 145, 150 and 540 those 3 have been good so far, but I haven't recapped them yet, they're working very well. The Duos needs recap - and 99% of the time people attempted to start them up and blows it, if you come across untouched...

Hiya all, Has anyone ever tried restoring/rebuild/wake up Li Ion batteries from PowerBooks? I have a few of PowerBook batteries and recently I got one battery brought back from dead and others aren't working at all. Someone advised to jump start/shock start the batteries with small spike...
