Newer Technology Inc. and Other World Computing on Thursday introduced a NuPower replacement battery that’s compatible with the PowerBook G3 FireWire (2000/Pismo) and PowerBook G3 Lombard (1999/Bronze Keyboard) models.
The battery uses Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) cell technology and provides 37.5 percent more capacity than the Apple stock battery for the laptops, according to Larry O’Connor, president of OWC. It’s available now for US$159.95.
The new battery rounds out the line of additional NuPower replacement batteries for G3 and G4 PowerBooks, including the NuPower 5400mAH battery for Pismo and Lombard models, which is still available at a reduced price of $145.99.
