Powerbook 3400c Battery Compatibility

Per this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21834

Is this battery compatible with the 3400c? http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Rechargeable-LI-ION-Battery-M7318-NEW-p-16180.html

I'm very confused about the various PB G3s' diversity.

Mmh no. This is a Pismo or Lombard batterie. A 3400c Battery would look like the one on this page :

Any thoughts on how to replace without rebuilding? I won't be buying a dead battery with the machine unfortunately.

Is my 5300c battery case in theory the same size and shape? (Not the NIMH standard just the case)

 

[galgot]

Yes they are the same case . Would fit in a 3400c as per the Apple page you linked says.

Sweet. Missed that. Thanks.

Here's hoping the 3400c powers on.
