High-Capacity Replacement Battery for PowerBook G4 'Titanium'
NEWERTECH AND OWC ANNOUNCE HIGHEST CAPACITY
REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR APPLE G4 'TITANIUM' POWERBOOKS

71 watt-hour replacement battery combines high-capacity storage and high-quality components

WOODSTOCK, Ill. - September 30, 2004 - Newer Technology (NewerTech) and Other World Computing (OWC) today introduced the NuPower Ti 4800mAH high-capacity replacement battery for all Apple PowerBook G4 'Titanium' 15-inch models 400 Megahertz (MHz) through 1 Gigahertz (GHz).

The NuPower Ti 4800mAH Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery is the highest capacity battery ever available for the PowerBook G4 Titanium with an amazing capacity of 71 watt-hours, giving it up to 42 percent more capacity than any other Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL) or third-party internal battery option available. The NuPower Ti 4800mAH battery is currently in stock and available online for $149.99.

"With the NuPower Ti 4800mAH battery, PowerBook G4 Titanium-users can now work for a long, long time without needing to plug in to an outlet to recharge," said Larry O'Connor, president of OWC. "The extra run-time makes for extra freedom and usability on the go. Whether you're on a long flight or taking a creative day away from the office, these batteries let you focus on the work while not worrying about when it's going to be time for another charge."

The NuPower Ti 4800mAH batteries, like all NewerTech PowerBook batteries, are designed and built in the United States using premium Li-Ion cells manufactured in Japan and/or Canada. Since it uses only the best components, NewerTech is able to ensure that its batteries run longer at full charge and also last longer compared to other batteries built to inferior standards.

"We build NuPower batteries to last longer and work better than any other PowerBook replacement battery," O'Connor said. "We specifically engineer them using only the latest technology and the highest quality cells available, which causes these batteries to last longer with more lifetime charge/discharge cycles and provides the longest runtimes between charges too. An all-around longer-lasting battery is something our customers definitely appreciate, and as an added bonus it's something that has environmental advantages as well."

The NuPower Ti 4800mAH batteries and the full line of high-capacity batteries from NewerTech are available through OWC. For more information or to order, visit www.newertech.com/batteries or e-mail sales@macsales.com.

Pro File: Apple's Seeds - Q&A with Steve Wozniak
A 2002 Macworld interview with The Woz!
From the article:
"Mention the name "Woz," and most Mac users will know exactly who you're talking about. After all, they've been enjoying the fruits of Steve Wozniak's labors for years. Wozniak spends most of his time these days focusing on Wheels of Zeus, a company he helped form to develop wireless consumer electronic products, but he still pays attention to that other company he helped establish with Steve Jobs 26 years ago."
