PowerBook G3 Pismo/Lombard Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery

You are bidding on a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery for the Apple PowerBook G3 series. Model Number: M7318. This battery, which is in EXCELLENT physical and working condition, lasted approximately 1 hour 20 minutes under "best energy conservation" testing conditions (your mileage may vary depending on your hardware, software, and what it is you're actually doing but this should be a reasonable expectation give or take a little). Can be used in both the "Pismo" (2000 model year) and "Lombard" (1999 model year) but NOT the "Wallstreet" (1998 model year) PowerBooks - see representative image below.

A few words about batteries: We test all of our rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and try to describe them (as with all of our items) as accurately as possible. Approximate runtimes are determined by fully charging the battery, then adjusting the Energy Saver system preference to disable the screen saver, and to disallow the screen from dimming and the hard disk from spinning down. The battery is then left to power a 400MHz G3 PowerBook running Mac OS X until it fully discharges (i.e., runs out). Batteries are consumables, of course, and are therefore never guaranteed but we try to give you our best estimate as to what you’ll be getting for your money given the variables detailed above.

Some sellers claim that their batteries hold “a good/full charge,” but some of these sellers consider 30 minutes to be “good.” Also, don’t be fooled by claims that a battery “charges to four lights/LEDs” with no additional information. We’ve seen battery charges plummet from four lights to zero in less than five minutes! And never simply trust your operating system’s battery meter: these are notoriously inaccurate.

So know what it is you’re buying and always purchase a fully-tested battery with a specified runtime (and preferably one from us!).
