Can I use the iBook G4 battery in the first gen MacBook?

JackTiggs · Sep 25, 2010, 08:25 PM

My first gen MacBook's battery no longer holds a charge, and I have a fully functional iBook G4 battery, so I was wondering if it was possible to use the iBook battery in my MacBook? Thanks!

No.

You could, uh, look at the two batteries and then see that they're completely incompatible... wouldn't that be faster than posting online?

No, they have a completely different shape!

No. They are physically different.
