Whatever forms they are, Batteries are meant to die. A very painful death. Which is annoying too.
So how are you coping up with old and very old notebooks?
Are you using them with the power adpater connected always? Old used batteries may not last more than a few minutes nowadays. Maybe just have enough time before connecting to a power line at another place.
I always thought of getting a 486 notebook and a Windows 95-era notebook and some sales do come with batteries. But I'm sure I'll be just using the power adapter if I ever get one.
Are there any companies still making custom batteries? These notebook batteries come in all forms and sizes due to the notebook designs. Are there any 486 or Pentium I or II era models which still have dedicated batteries still being produced?
