Apple battery recall applies to G3 iBooks, too - anonymouse1 - 08-25-2006

Some iBook G3s also eligible Though it's not readily apparent, some iBook G3s may also be affected by this recall. The reason is that some users have purchased replacement batteries, or received batteries through a different exchange program, that fall under the appropriate serial number range.
Apple's Web page states:
"If you participated in a previous battery recall for any of these computer models or recently purchased or received from Apple an extra battery for an iBook G3, please check your battery serial number in case you received a replacement battery that is affected by this program."
So if you own an iBook G3, check to see whether or not your battery model and serial number fall into one of the given ranges

yeah. Like they'll be able to get THOSE serial numbers through Apple's FUBAR system.
Good luck.

Yeah elmo, I hate to brighten up your day or anything, but apparently it was a first-day glitch. Did you ever get anything wrong the first time? I have, and I guess Apple did, too.

Thanks for the info. My wife's iBook G3 is running on an upgraded battery. Not an Apple battery though.
I wonder if any of the third party battery suppliers used the Sony lithium cells.
