Here's an open-source 3D reproduction of the Macintosh Portable battery (M5137) available to download on Thingiverse. Big thanks to @alxlab for loaning his battery to me for 3D modeling!

@Drake, about 45 but you'd have to use flat tab connections! 🤪 I guess that's around... 10,000 mAh! That's like 2x the next best eBay option (C4.5S(T1) 6V4.5Ah)!

Very interesting, thanks. What are you planning to put inside? I’m afraid you need to have the same chemistry as the original battery pack for the Mac to recognize and properly manage it.

@Paolo B I’ll let someone else crack that egg - my goal is to make the 1:1 3D model available.
Doodling around with NewtPaint on the MessagePad 130 for Adventures of McFloppy comics. I'm guessing the B&W aesthetic is more ideal than the color version? I'm going to have to animate this little dude at some point, somehow.

Late night picture from the QuickTake 200 at the old Indianapolis Airport - this would have looked a lot different 24 years ago...

Hi Grant! This is Craig Learmont, we met a long time ago, and I just read you have a couple of TAMs available? Haven’t seen you in a while. I’ve been collecting old Macs for the past 5 years. Do you have other old stuff available? I’d love to come see what you have. Hope things are well. I live in Sage Hill NW.

Hey, Craig. I wondered when I’d run into someone else from Calgary around here.

Yes, I do have a “few” TAMs kicking around (although some other folks are ahead of you in line) and a ton of other Mac gear around here. Are you looking for anything in particular. I would like to start thinning out the herd a bit.

We can move this conversation to private if you like.

(I’m assuming that you’ll get notified of my reply to your comment here.)

Hey, Craig! Apologies for the radio silence. Been juggling far too many things lately and my social side is slipping. I’m looking at towards the end of the month to have a bit of free time.
SoundJam locked and loaded on the Kanga G3. Finally settling in well and ripping MP3s of CDs even.
