Does anyone know the Radio Shack part number for a Mac PRAM battery?  I
have a G4/800 desktop (Quicksilver 2002), but I believe it¹s the same
battery they¹ve used for numerous models over the years.

Thanks for your help.

Mac Logic board battery part numbers from different suppliers/mfrs:

Tadiran Lithium Inorganic TL 5101 (at Batteries Plus stores, or
mailorder (purple body))

Radio Shack 23-026 (the Tadiran battery but more expensive. Last time I
looked they were asking $15 or more)

NuPower ER 14250 OWC (macsales.com) (yellow body)) cheap $4.99

ABLE 3.6V www.mac-battery.com

If you are not in a hurry, OWC (Other World Computing) has them for
$5-$7.  They are a great Mac accessory, memory, hardisks, etc supplier.
It is a 3.6v lithium battery.

These PRAM batteries last about 5 years, but some have reported them
lasting 7 years.

I am just a satisfied customer, no connection to the company.

    The Duracell CR2 fits in. its a 1/2 AA litium cell like the
pram battery is. but it lasts quite awhile. My two macs have one in each!
It however isn't the cheapest way at $7 a pop but this thing has more
maH than the standard tandian does.
