Is it possible to mod a PC battery into an iBook G3 Clamshell?

[garirry]

So, here's the thing. I have an iBook G3 Clamshell that I have in my computer collection. Unfortunately, the battery was dead when I bought it (used). I wanted to replace the battery, but in most websites you can't find them and the only places where you can actually find them, you must buy them for 99$. For me, it's not a necessity to replace the battery, so I don't want to shell out 100$ for a battery for a computer I will probably barely use.

I wonder, is it possible to take a battery from a laptop PC and somehow mod it to put it in the G3? I have a few laying around (I think), or at least I could get one from useless/broken computers people give me. Do you think it is possible?

Thanks in advance.

No. Clamshell iBooks take a very uniquely shaped battery. You can purchase a new third party one from Amazon for about $55. Although being in Canada the price may be a bit higher.

Oh well...

I found this battery, the cheapest I could find on the Canadian Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Battery-Laptop...qid=1407293978&sr=8-24&keywords=ibook+battery

It costs 75$, but I think I'll wait till I get more money to waste, so I could buy this.

Thanks anyways.

Make sure you purchase one that has a return policy. Sometimes those batteries can die just by sitting around waiting to be sold.

Alright, thanks!
