Batteries

  1. Can anyone recommend a current supplier of TiBook batteries? --

  2. Found one.

  3. They messed me about demanding copies of my driving license and passport, which I wasn't prepared to give them just for a credit card sale which should have been trouble free.

  4. Go on then; tell us. And what the service/delivery was like. --

  5. AT Computers in Tewkesbury. The delivery was quite easy - my folks went to pick it up.

  6. I was talking to someone at a Central London Mac dealer yesterday and they were telling me that these were discontinued, that there were lots of people chasing after these batteries -and the idiotic lack of sense of withdrawing a product when it begins to have a large demand (as batteries in all those TiBooks reach the end of their life cycle)

  8. If true, that does sound unusually bloody stupid. But...

    Bugger. That was a search result page so of course it's nonsense. Just go to <http://applemacparts.com> and search. --

  10. My best guess is that Apple don't really want people replacing their batteries, they'd rather have them buy a new PB. That and the fact that for the numbers actually buying them, it's probably not worth it, especially when most people are going to buy from a 3rd party manufacturer that can do it cheaper and offers better capacity.
