I am not sure, but in the meantime, after two occurencesoccurrences of dead main batteries it seams to me that this is a construction failure of Apple itself. Both batteries powered the G4 up for 2-4 hrs. Both batteries died after I didntdidn't use the PowerBook for a couple of weeks due holidays or christmas and newyears time. Before I left home the battery wasnt charged, the bowerbookPowerBook was in standby due to lack of battery power, waiting for new charge. After I returned home, the batteries were dieddead and couldntcouldn't be charged anymore. The first battery was around two years old but in good condition, the other was kind of brand new, 4 months old, original apple store article.
