WOODSTOCK, Ill. (May 24, 2005) – Other World Computing (OWC) and Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech™) are proud to round out their complete line of replacement batteries by adding two options for Apple’s PowerBook G4 17-inch Aluminum.
Not only do NuPower batteries offer as much as 42 percent more capacity than Apple’s factory-shipped battery, but all NuPower batteries are designed, engineered, and built in the USA using only top quality Lithium-Ion cells from Japan and/or Canada.
It’s this insistence on quality that ensures the NewerTech NuPower batteries provide a longer runtime for your Apple laptop, as well as a longer useable lifespan for the battery.
“These batteries are a great value, a true representation of more bang for the buck,” said Larry O’Connor, President of OWC.
“They’re priced right, allow you to stay unplugged longer between charges and have a longer lifespan themselves.”
The latest addition to the NuPower battery family, the new PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17-inch batteries, retail for $139.99 (60 watt-hour) and $169.99 (67 watt-hour) and offer up to 21 percent more capacity than the original battery shipped by Apple. They also come with a one-year NewerTech warranty.
The batteries are compatible with Apple’s PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17-inch 1 Gigahertz (GHz), PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17-inch 1.33GHz, PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17-inch 1.5GHz and PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17-inch 1.67GHz models.
NewerTech’s full line of NuPower high capacity battery replacements for Apple PowerBook G3 & G4, iBook G3 & G4, and iPod models can be purchased through OWC and other fine retailers. For more information or to order, please visit
