Actually, from what I've read on the net, it's
no big deal to rebuild
the battery. If you open it up, it's just 3(?) Gates Cylon 2V cells.
As for a source for a charger, here's my two favorite Mac places:
Intragate (intramac(a)aol.com) 505-265-7759
Timco Computers (lance(a)lance.seanet.com) 206-933-6090
http://www.timco-computers.com
Intragate has slightly better prices, but Timco is slightly more likely
to have it in stock. YMMV

Two more things:
1) The other gotcha with a Mac Portable seems to be the hard drive.
Although it is SCSI, it is a strange Connor with an unusual connector.
Plans do exist on the net, though, for how to build an adapter for
a standard drive.
2) I'm looking for one of these, if anyone (John?) comes across one cheap.
I keep having people dangle the possibility of getting one under my nose,
but it never pans out.
