Newer Technology Inc. introduced a new 74 watt-hour (wh) NuPower Lithium Ion replacement battery for the 14"/14.1" iBook G3 and G4 models for $129.99. OWC, the online store that carries the new batteries, stated that the new battery has tested to be the longest lasting, longest running unit on the market, and provides up to 34 percent more capacity than the original Apple battery. For more information, check this OWC Web page.

We use a NewerTech NuPower battery in our original 12" PowerBook G4 that has been upgraded with a 1.4GHz CPU and it lasts significantly longer than the original Apple-supplied battery. We are very happy with it. [Bill Fox]
