Wow... Powerbook 190/5300 batteries (NiMH 2100mAH) on Jet

[FacnyFreddy]

I've been hunting high and low for NiMH batts that could be rebuilt. I was just about to order a set of cells for my old-leaky unit...

And by chance I ran a search on old part numbers and substitues.

And I see that there are some FedCo units in Apple housing out there!!!

Best price is from Jet.com

H210AE-12PB

With 15% coupon and forgoing free return shipping, I got it for $65.

Not "cheap", but, just slightly more than ordering a set of 12 2500mAH Enloop cells.

Now I just have to fix the contacts on my power board for the 5300ce.

These are still being manufactured, i.e., not NOS?

Any chance there's still any 500 series batteries out there?
