Title:

Can PowerBook G4 17" batteries be rebuilt/refurbished?

Text:

The inevitable aging batteries of my PowerBook G4 17” are losing their charge and not lasting as they once did, even my newertech replacements.

Can the battery packs be opened and the cells inside be replaced, as one might with a phone or newer laptop that doesn’t use the removable battery pack?[br]

Thanks.
