Important:

If only one flashing light is on, very little charge is left. If no lights are

visible, the battery is completely drained and the computer will not start up unless the

power adapter is connected. Plug in the power adapter for several hours to let the

battery recharge, or replace the drained battery with a fully charged battery (see the

next section).

If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge, you

may sometimes notice that the battery does not maintain a full charge of 100% when

the power adapter is attached. When the battery level eventually drops below 95

percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent. This saves battery life as charging is

not continuously cycled on and off.

Removing and Replacing the Battery

To remove the battery:

Shut down your iBook G4. Turn it over and locate the battery latch. Use a coin to turn

the latch a quarter turn clockwise to unlock the battery, and gently remove it.
