48 Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
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 PowerBook. Turn it over and locate the battery latch. Use a coin to
turn the latch one quarter turn clockwise to unlock the battery, and gently remove it.
To replace the battery:
• Place the right side of the battery into the battery compartment. Gently press the left
side of the battery down until the battery latch locks into place.
