Replacement iBook battery

NewerTech has introduced a new NuPower replacement battery designed for Apple's 12-inch iBook G3/G4 laptops. The battery boasts 51 percent higher capacity in comparison to the original Apple battery and features a 55.5 watt-hour capacity to deliver up to nine hours of battery life (compared with the 6-hour life offered by Apple's own battery). The NuPower replacement will work with all 12- and 12.1-inch iBook models between the 2001 (Dual USB) model and the most recent 1.33GHz G4-based model. Also available for the 12-inch iBook is a 45.5 watt-hour battery with 31 percent more power. The new 55.5 watt-hour replacement battery costs $130, while the 45.5 watt-hour model is now priced at $100. All batteries sold by NewerTech contain no mercury thus keep them environmentally friendly when disposed of or recycled. [image included]
