Hi gang. My iBook battery is toast (14" 1.0 Ghz). It only holds about 11% of charge, lasting about 10 minutes. I found a new replacement battery at the above company laptopchare.ca (http://www.laptopcharge.com/Canada/product_index03.asp?DEP_ID=1&CAT_id=1&Brand_ID=4&mode_id=1&PNO=20.03.019.00)

Has anyone had expericene dealing with this company? Thread search comes up blank. Google let me down, only 3 or 4 mixed reviews. Any feedback or alternative solutions (in Canada) would be helpful.

Unless the price is half of what you can get it from Apple, I'd stick with the known quantity. The battery for a 15" Aluminum PowerBook G4 there is $129.00 and I'd check for yours but the store is down at the moment.

$70 CAD is mighty tempting. I memory serves, Apple was looking at about twice that. Are batteries like RAM? Apple charges a kings ransom for them?

Only other online option in canada is laptopbatteryshop.ca (http://www.laptopbatteryshop.ca/laptop_batteries/apple-ibook-g4-m9388ll_a.htm)
