Well, after three epic YT livestreams, I have a battery assembled and ... it only holds a charge for 20 minutes. I've check the voltage when fully charged - 6.2 volts (analog meter so it's not very accurate) and individual cells are 1.5 volts. I get the same voltage reading when it's...

I don't have a hot air station so I use the snip it in half and deconstruct it from the top down technique. I tried the unsolder each side and gently lift technique and had less success.

If you are in the U.S. and would like to buy it let me know. I’m willing to sell it.

Totally understand. You do need to flash it which requires a $10 tool. I haven't taken the time yet.

This is very cool. I used to use macintosh.js but found it too much of a resource hog.

Awesome to hear from another retro user! I was using an older V5 SCSI2SD but found the setup and management too much work. I've switched to using BlueSCSI exclusively having sold the SCSI2SD adapter. The BlueSCSI firmware is improving. There is a beta release that just dropped that has a 10%...

This of course isn’t enough cells. There are other packs with seven cells and two packs are about $2/cell.

I used these for the 520c build. Only had to cut one lead and flip the cells around to make it work. Tenergy 9.6V Flat NiMH Battery Packs for RC Car, High Capacity 8-Cell 2000mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack, Replacement Hobby Battery Pack with Standard Tamiya Connectors...

I think it’s worth a try. I had to cut out support ribs on the 520c enclosure to get the replacement cells to fit. Fun times.

Your timing is perfect. I have a 180c battery pack I was going to refurbish like I did my 520c battery packs. I haven't cut it open yet and planned to reuse the original shell. Can you provide a link to the fuses you used?

Very nice! My dream solution, based on a comment made during a recent live stream on HyperCard programming I did, would be an intellisense feature. I don't believe it would be possible but I can dream. :)

The kit worked out great! https://console5.com/store/apple-macintosh-powerbook-180c-sharp-lcd-board-tantalum-cap-kit.html

Console5 responded to my email with suggestions for a kit. They recommend similar electrolytic caps due to the EMR rating. I'll post the link to the kit when they create it.

Here’s the "corrected" measurements for the caps: On the 180C screen Qty- Cap base width - capacitance voltage 4x - 6.0mm - 47 uF 16 V 2X - 3.2mm - 10 uF 16 V 2x - 5.3mm - 10 uF 25 V On the LCD power board 2X - 6.8mm tall 2mm leads - 22 uF 10 V

Ah, thanks. I should have guessed as much.

I'm focused on HyperCard programming. Wrote a Wordle clone in HyperCard and posted a rather long video explaining how it works. Realized once that was done what I really want and need to do is a series on HyperCard Authoring and Programming. Started the outline today - it's going to be a long...

Tried it out and it works great. The color version is a bit slower as you've pointed out. I tried the B&W version on my Performa 550 to see if it was any faster. It appears the B&W version is fixed to the classic screen resolution - entirely understandable.

Better image with can size in mm.
