Apple Duo 230 Battery? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

21 Dec 2013

Brad,

Yeah, if I can FIND one, I figured the folks at AHCS could help me rebuild it.   I'm
probably going to have a "big" rebuild laptop battery task, once I at least find
batteries for all the Mac laptops I got on that palette of Macs.    However, sadly, the
Duo 230 is the ONLY one that didn't have even ONE battery pack in the pile.   I've
been hunting on ebay and various other sites, but aside from one or two units (and one
full unit and docking station) I've not seen any even LISTED for sale... 

I'm still interested in 2 of them, if anybody knows of a source...

Earl

 Many battery packs of that time are nothing more than a bunch of NiCad sub-C cells. If we
could determine that it is such, I can build you one.
 Can you bring one to the meeting today?
