Hacked a iBook battery to work in PowerBook G4


so never use g3 due lack of power. it's more of desktop since don't bring me either.

since pbg4 doesn't have battery, decided better put use in that. plan take powerbook me school,etc. of know nupower batteries expensive, don't have 80+ shell out.

idea popped in head, why not use g3 battery in g4. proceeded take apart battery till left internals.
