iBook G4 Batteries?

fredcastle

Anyone know where to get these for less than apple charges? Google hasn’t given me anything reputable.

I want to replace my iBook G4 14 inch laptop’s battery.

I was about to buy one of these

But my old battery was part of the big recall last year, so I got a new Apple one for free (despite the old one only lasting about ten minutes on full charge). Lucky me!

Oops, this is the link I meant to use:

Sorry

Think I can find it for less than $100? Apple has it for $129.

...and this doesn’t seem legit or the right thing?

i’ve found eBay is the way to go for all things small, electronic, and slightly out of date.
