i know apple tends to overcharge for ram and hdd's, is this also true for batteries and is there any other 3rd party perhaps who makes just as good a battery for cheaper?? if not im fine with paying 129 for one because this one is toasted.. lasts about an hour of web browsing
More of the Same
I too had to replace my iBook G4 14" battery a while back (2 years ago) I searched online but most betteries you find are going to be around the same price WITH SHIPPING as if you purchase one at an
store.
So if there is an store nearby I'd go there, but if not try the "NuPower" that 4JNA posted

lol.. ive been waiting for your response clyde... maybe ill try that one after i get a new batt.
Takes a couple of times, but I have used it before. I've also had luck getting a pb battery from a couple of local 3rd party repair shops. They had a couple lying around that used for diagnostic/repair purposes that they didn't need anymore. Charged me $30, but they had 98% original capacity left!
Check ebay! You can often find ones there for at least 1/2 price but ask the seller first for cycle count and capacity.
Or if you are feeling mighty adventurous....

If you had access to the Marketplace, some one just listed 2 iBook G4 batteries both in excellent condition.
