I've managed to get a couple of these today. A 12" and 15". 12" powers up and works great, it's in perfect condition and the battery only has 26 cycles on it! Still at about 90% health which I think is incredible. 15" battery is flat, so I can't test.

The issue is I don't have any powercables. I'm struggling to find any for sale, the only ones on ebay I can find are 3rd party at £50+ each. I don't mind 3rd party, but £50 is nuts.

Anyone know any good sources for chargers?
 
I am shocked they cost so much, however, I found a spare 3rd party 45W G4 charger in my bits box...

I've just checked and it charges my 15" PowerBook G4 fine, so you can have it :)

Cheers :)

That is insane. Just a few years ago I bought exactly the same product for £15.

There used to be loads on Amazon but they've dried up. It would be cheaper to buy a spares/repairs machine for a tenner that includes a charger...

Top man! :)
