WOODSTOCK, Ill. October 30, 2003 Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech
TM) and Other World Computing (OWC) today introduced an extra high-capacity NuPower replacement battery compatible with the PowerBook G3 FireWire (2000/Pismo) and PowerBook G3 Lombard (1999/Bronze Keyboard) models.
Utilizing the latest Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) cell technology, this new 6600mAH PowerBook battery provides 37.5 percent more capacity than the Apple stock battery for PowerBook G3 Lombard and FireWire models and is available immediately for $159.95.
With our extra high-capacity NuPower battery, Pismo and Lombard owners can go longer than ever without plugging in, said Larry OConnor, president of OWC.
If sales of our G4/500MHz processor upgrade for the PowerBook Pismo are an indication, the Pismo is still extremely popular. At some point, you either want an extra battery or need to replace one, and our NewerTech batteries offer the longest battery run times you can get!
The new extra high-capacity battery rounds out the line of additional NuPower replacement batteries for G3 and G4 PowerBooks, including the NuPower 5400mAH battery for Pismo and Lombard models, which is still available at a reduced price of $145.99.
These batteries can be real lifesavers, OConnor said.
There isnt a notebook computer user alive who hasnt wished for extended battery life at some time. Our replacement batteries give users crucial added time when they are in a crunch or away from a reliable power source.
The full line of NewerTech high capacity batteries, including models for the PowerBook G3 Wallstreet and PowerBook G4 Titanium are available through OWC. For more information or to order, visit
