14" ibook replacement battery

I need to replace my 14" ibook G3 battery does anyone have any experience with 3rd party batteries? I'm debating on an Apple battery or 3rd party any suggestions would be appreciated.

No personal experience, but the best price I've found on a replacement battery is at Power Gears.

Replacement battery won't turn on ibook

Have a used 14" ibook g4 that was only operable when power supply connected. replaced battery today and now won't turn on at all. bought new replacement from reliable third party vendor. has 4 indicator l.e.d.'s but not operating machine at all. Here's the interesting part. Swiped battery from my brothers 12" ibook g4 and held in place on contacts (obviously wouldn't stay in on its own due to smaller size) and machine turned on and booted up properly. Thoughts?

You may have received a bad battery. Contact the vendor (might I ask who they are?) and see if you can get another replacement.

Advice needed for replacement battery for G3 12" Dual USB ibook

I need to buy a new battery for my 12" iBook, a 600 MHz G3 model, dual USB, vintage 2001. The online Apple store has something called an Extra Battery - iBook 12.1", which is a 50-watt-hour battery. However, when I phoned the Apple store to order one the salesperson insisted that these would only work in the newer G4 version of the iBook. I queried this because there is no mention of a restriction on the processor in the description in the online catalogue, only that the machine should have two USB ports. He suggested I call the Applecare technical helpline, which I did, but the engineer there wasn't sure if the battery would be compatible either, which I find surprising since they must service and repair these machines all the time. He said it might work but there was no guarantee and the increased capacity of the newer G4 battery might damage my power adaptor, which I also find surprising. He said my machine was now too old to get a new battery. I have also looked at ifixit.com in my search for answers, which seems to suggest that the 12" iBook G3 and G4 batteries are interchangeable provided you don't mind having the wrong colour rubber foot on that corner of the laptop.
If there is anyone from Apple who monitors these posts I would be grateful if you could give me the definitive answer about the compatibility of the iBook Extra Battery available from the Apple online store before I order one, as it would be a rather expensive mistake to make if won't work or if there is a risk it would damage my machine.
Many thanks
Peter

The iBook G4's battery is absolutely fine in the iBook G3 (Dual USB). In addition to the rubber foot being a different color, the battery casing is a bit different finish, too, but it will work absolutely fine.

I have no life in my ibook G4 battery!

Hi i had a problem with my G4 battery as it would only run when on charge. Now it appears i can no longer do that does anyone know where i could buy a cheaper replacement battery and is there a specfic model i need? Thank you very much an ibook amateur

Cheaper = www.eBay.com
Yes you need a specific kind based on the model battery you have. Look at the model number on the back of the battery.
Then match up the numbers for instance on the eBay listings they give you all the compatible model numbers.

Buying replacement battery

My wife's 1.2GHz iBook's battery seems to be on its last legs as it holds a charge for less than an hour these days. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or comments on buying cheap third party batteries as a replacement?
I know Other World Computing sells Newer Technology batteries for about $120 and Apple sells iBook batteries for $130. However I see batteries on Amazon in the neighborhood of $70-$80. I'm sure tempted to get one of these and save 50 or 60 dollars, but wonder if there's some reason these are available at such a big discount compared to more "established" options.
thanks for any input.

Thanks for the intput Lyssa. To be clear, I wasn't considering a battery thru an individual. If you search under "Electronics" at Amazon for "iBook battery" you get tons of batteries sold by companies I've not heard of such as "Flex", as I indicated in my initial post, priced in the 70 to 80 dollar range.
Obviously, I'm not completely comfortable with these "no-name" battery suppliers or I wouldn't be asking here about them. I'm leaning a bit toward the more well-known solutions such as OWC.
Thanks once again.

Replacement battery - no male plug

I bought a replacement battery for a 160 GB iPod Classic off eBay, but there is no male plug attached to the leads of the battery cable. It's just the bare leads. Is this normal? How do you attach the battery cable to the plug to fit it in the battery port otherwise? I can't find anything online about this. It seems like I'm missing a piece. Are you supposed to harvest the male plug from the old battery? Very confusing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Second battery received from OWC. Same behaviour.
Technician says that the customer service person was wrong to say that the 3rd party battery would not give a warning.
Bottom line, they tell me it's like running my car with a fuel gauge that doesn't give accurate info, but still sends fuel to the engine.
Battery has 4.5 plus hours running time, but gives the red light warning in battery icon with one hour left - and shuts down with no warning when there is 14 minutes (4%) left (these are the 2nd battery's numbers)
Battery obviously does not talk to my iBook, though it runs fine, so far. (In about this Mac, under Battery it showed these numbers after the first charge:
Full Charge Capacity 4400
Remaining Capacity 4335
Amperage-860
Voltage 16085
Cycle Count 0
OWC says they don't understand the Amperage number...
What to do?
Everyone at OWC seems to agree that the battery can't harm the iBook and it certainly has a good run time. If I hadn't been looking often at the battery icon it might never had been apparent that it went red so early, though the shut down without warning is a problem, but I can work around this...

RESULT - Free Replacement Battery from Apple UK

Hi to All,
Like a lot of you I had problems with my battery. I noticed earlier this year my MBP would power-off when there was still lots of battery charge left. It gradually got worse and worse. A few months ago I noticed whenever I pulled the power cord out it would switch off and recently I can only use it when it's plugged in.
I read about the battery problems online, and on this forum. I discovered it was a very common problem. I had assumed there was nothing I could do other than buy a new battery, but after reading posts from some of you who have had success getting a replacement one I thought I'd call Apple. Nothing to lose other than cost of phone call. To be honest I wasn't expecting to get any joy as I bought my MBP in May 2006.
I spoke to a overly-friendly guy in Bangalore who kept saying "Don't worry, don't worry. I will sort this out for you". He took my details and serial number etc.. then kept putting me on hold as he spoke to his 'supervisor'. After 15 mins he explained that my battery's serial no. is one that qualified for the replacement programme - but that only applied up to 2 years after purchase. As mine is 30 months old, he had to do some arm twisting and they made an exception for me. He transferred me to a woman in Scotland who gave me a case number etc.. She then passed me onto a dispatch guy.
After 20 mins on the phone my free replacement battery is on it's way. Not sure if I've just been very lucky on this occasion, but I would recommend calling Apple Support wherever you are, before going ahead and forking out for a new battery.

Hmm... Newer Technologies' reseller list includes OWC/esales but they
are not the same; one is a reseller and the other is a manufacturer. A
few product names at OWC are not seen anywhere else unless you look
real hard, but Newer Tech and NuPower can be bought direct from Newer
Technologies online; and a reseller could contact them to carry their stuff.
In any event, if just the plastic is mal-formed, and the section not fitting up
is just a layer of white plastic, that'd be comparatively easy to change. If
nothing else, Apple should have a shorter waiting list on replacement cells
now the recall numbers have been going out to customers. I got mine after
about a two month wait; and after all that waiting, I've gotten over the need
to use a portable computer. It just sits there and I have to hassle with it;
to keep it charged up and up to date. With winter here, I don't carry it while
travelling anywhere, it'd freeze too easily over the distances I have to go!
Did Newer Tech offer to refund monies and take back these odd batteries?
Have you contacted other battery sales sources for comparative products?
The quality and support plus warranty (and fit, finish, compatibility)
are all important details.
Some cheap replacements could be dangerous and not suited for use in
the iBook or PowerBook they are intended to replace. I see some at
places like amazon afiliate stores, and wonder what they really are inside.

My battery recall replacement battery just died :(

My nearly-three-years-old iBook G4 had a battery that was part of the infamous bad batch that had to be recalled so dutifully I entered my details to the recall page got my replacement battery and sent off the might-potentially-explode-at-any-time unit in the UPS box to be disposed of by Apple. This was a year ago or so I can't really remember.
Yesterday I unplugged my iBook and took it downstairs to copy some files over to my external hard drive, plugged in the firewire cable, started copying and then - foomp - my iBook just switches off. Odd thing to happen I thought - not so odd more oh-god-no! was that it wouldn't switch back on.
After pressing and holding the power button and removing and replacing the battery a few times I get a bit scared. My white plastic wonder is dead! I take out the battery one more time and press the button to give a charge status and it gives no lights! Not even the one green blink for 'please charge me now I'm thirsty!'.
I get the power adaptor and plug it in to the wall and the other end into my iBook (no battery inserted yet) - green ring lights up - press the power button and I get the reassuring chime! Yay! iBook lives again!
When I finally get booted into OS X I plop the battery back in the power plug light turns orange and the menu bar shows 'Charging..." and the battery shows 0%?
Zero percent? How come? My iBook stays plugged in the vast amount of time fully charged up and ready to go, every now and then going cable free to be my internet browser while I watch TV in the living room.
But after some time the menu bar still show 'Charging..." and "0%"?
I leave my iBook there for some time more, the power plug still glowing orange, before I check the underside and the battery is cold (far colder than the rest of the now mildly warm iBook), so definitely not about to explode. Good news.
I try all the usual tricks like resetting the PMU and PRAM and NVRAM and permissions etc. etc. but still "Charging..." and "0%".
My other battery (a spare I bought a few months after my iBook) works fines and charges lovely so my iBook isn't to blame.
Here's what I need to know - is this battery a goner? Can I send it to Apple to be repaired in some way (I doubt I'll be able to get a warrantee replacement out of this I'm fairly sure coverage is out) or do I have to go the whole hog and spend £90 on a new battery?

I imagine you have already checked to see that your replacement battery wasn't also recalled. But you might check and be sure how long ago you got it and how long the warranty is--very possibly it might still be under warranty. I think you can find all this out by calling the Apple store, as they can look up your account. They might also be able to tell you how to report this to Apple, as it might be indicative of another battery problem that they may not know about yet. I think these batteries are actually manufactured by Sony and others, and if there is a defect, the manufacturer--and not Apple--will bear the cost of repair or replacement. So Apple might be willing to help you here. It's at least worth a shot. Apple likes to have happy customers.
Good luck!

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
Thanks,
Andrew

Yeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

It is possible...
If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.
http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.

Replacement battery for dv6113us? part #432306-001(6cell) or 446506-001(6cell) or 432307-001(12cell)

replacement battery for dv6113us? part #432306-001*(6cell) or 446506-001(6cell) or 432307-001(12cell)
I am trying to order the correct battery replacement - and that information is not on the bottom of the computer or on the lithium ion battery. I have determined the original replacement part, but when I order that part number*, it doesn't give me a place to enter quantity and does list the alternative part number. I am also wondering if I can substitute a 12 cell battery (from the model to battery listings match list).
[(VE06) EV088AA 432306-001/446506-001(6cell)] vs [(VE12) EV089AA 432307-001(12cell)]
thanks for your feedback,

I got a replacement battery, reset the SMC, and my computer will still turn off unexpectedly.

Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, 2ghz iz, C0*****F8V.
My original battery wore down to the point where it would not be recognized as available and the computer couldn't power on without shutting down in a few minutes. I ordered a replacement battery, certified Apple genuine, but after 3 days it reached about half charge and the computer died, not turning back on without the adapter. When it did reboot the battery was at 0% and not charging, and the computer was incredibly slow and laggy.
I refunded and returned this battery and got a new one. I've had it installed about 2 days and the computer will still turn off if not plugged in at about 80-85%. I have reset my SMC multiple times and my PRAM as well. coconutBattery says nothing is wrong with the battery.
What can I do? I'm a freelance video editor and this is basically calling me out sick from work for a week now.
Thanks!

Do these codes refer strictly to the battery, or to possibly other components that interact with it?
I can not give you a definitive answer to that. The 'x's' which I have marked should be letters. If so, could you provide them and that may give us a clue:
If that is actually what was generated by the AHT, then I am a bit surprised.
At any rate, the bottom line is that the MBP does not like your battery even though the output information that you provided does not indicate anything adverse. An Apple battery should correct your problem, I would think, but there is an alternative that I came across yesterday that you might consider. OWC. a Mac oriented vendor, is now selling replacement batteries for MBPs.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/BAP15MBU78W/
Based on the reputation of the company, I personally would be willing to try their non-Apple branded replacement. I have dealt with them a fair amount, so my statement is from experience. Note that is has a 1 year guarantee as do the Apple batteries. ( I will need a replacement for my 2010 MBP and I will probably purchase it from them)
Ciao.
