The 53.3 watt-hour NuPower AL15 battery is available immediately for $129.99, and offers the longest run-time of any battery currently on the market for Aluminum G4 PowerBook models 1.0-Gigahertz (GHz), 1.25GHz, 1.33GHz and 1.5GHz.

“We have had such significant demand for a 15-inch Aluminum G4 model PowerBook battery that when we first made the AL15 available, all we could do was list it on our Web site without a formal news release and try to keep it in stock,” said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC. “It’s only now, three months after we first began shipping, that our supply is ramped up to the point where we can let the ‘rest of world’ know about this great product.”

The NuPower AL15 batteries 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 make sure that the batteries will not be recalled as others have been.

“We believe these and all of our laptop batteries are honestly the very best batteries you can buy,” O’Connor said. “We build them not only to run longer, but also with lasting reliability in mind. This makes good economic sense, and it certainly benefits the environment with less waste as well.”

The NuPower AL15 batteries, as well as NewerTech’s full line of the highest capacity PowerBook batteries available, can be purchased through OWC and other fine retailers.
