NuPower battery models for 14-inch iBooks provide as much as |
WOODSTOCK, Ill. – March 22, 2005– Other World Computing (OWC) and Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech™) today announced availability of NuPower high-capacity replacement batteries for all Apple iBook G3 & G4 14-inch and 14.1-inch notebook models. The new 59 Watt Hour battery model is available for $119.99, and provides up to 12 percent more capacity than the original Apple stock battery. At $139.99, the 71 Watt Hour model provides up to 29 percent more capacity. “It’s a great thing to have products that really help make existing computers better than new,” said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC. “Providing the highest capacity batteries that extend the time people can spend on their iBooks without being tethered to the wall is a great way to do that.” As with all NuPower batteries, the 14-inch iBook-compatible models are built in the United States using premium Li-Ion cells manufactured in Japan and/or Canada. By using only the best components and building them in the U.S., NewerTech is able to ensure that its batteries run longer at full charge and last longer compared to other batteries built to lesser standards. The high-quality cells also allow for more charge cycles than other batteries, and stringent quality control measures ensure these batteries are built to last. “Apple builds the best laptops in the world and they are built to last,” O’Connor said. “When all that’s wrong with an otherwise great laptop is a diminished battery runtime, an upgrade to an even longer lasting and longer running NuPower battery is just the ticket. It’s great to have a spare too, so you can spend even more time unplugged.” NewerTech’s full line of the highest capacity Apple PowerBook, iBook and iPod replacement batteries available can be purchased through OWC and other fine retailers.
