Powerbook 180 DIY battery pack

thingiverse

This is VERY experimental! But I basically just cut out a bunch of the extra bits from the original and made a smaller, simpler battery pack using a single premade 6v NiMH cell. I feel like you could probably fit two in there in parallel, especially if you went with AAA cells, but I basically just tried to keep it simple. For the electrodes, I used 0.01" brass plate that I cut into strips with scissors to match the size on the original battery. Then I used QuikSteel putty to affix everything, starting with the lower negative electrode, then placing the other one. Photos pending.
