What is the info on the old battery?

Without removing 22 screws to open the computer I have no idea.
I'd like to have a replacement on hand to make the exchange once I do open it up.

just to be sure that it is dead the machine should be left plugged in for 24 hours because it recharges extremely slowly and really doesn't charge much at all if the powerbook isn't used much.
A DLSD powerbook has the PRAM assembly wrapped in a coated foil with a little rectangular battery inside, the rest have a round LI-ON battery assembly wrapped in an clear orange coating so easier to find

This powerbook is plugged in 24/7, and is running from line power when it starts up with the default date and has lost the wi/fi log-in info.

Yes the battery is good, near new actually.

🙂 I figured it would be, but you never know.
