When fitting SIMMS last year I remember thinking the Pram Battery looks
quite accessable and wondering why it costs so much to have changed at an
Apple Centre.

Well, my battery is now dead. It is a Sonnenschein inorganic lithium,
number SL-150

I've seen a 3.6 volt in the Farnell catalogue which looks similar. Would
this one do?  It's a 1/2 AA size with a 1.1 Ah capacity,  number SL235L/S


As long as the voltage is correct and the connecters fit properly are
there any other specifications that I need to worry about (amps per hour
rating etc. etc.)


Are there any precautions I should bear in mind when replacing the
battery?  If it is as easy to do as it looks why do Apple say only Apple
Centres should change it?  


Thanks,  John
