Does anyone know how nimh batteries do relative to leakage? I have a pentax dslr that uses nimh aa batteries and I hadn't give it a thought before.
I have a 20 year old PowerBook 5300ce which I just fired up (never mind why) but it's original Apple NiMH battery has leaked and made a mess of the contacts. Luckily, the mess doesn't go beyond the contacts (the thing booted and everything, even with a 15 year old replacement HD in it) so it actually booted just fine to OS 8.6.
The battery alone is heavier than the new MacBook.
