  take GREAT care of the details:

    * MOST of the macs use a 1/2 AA sized Li-battery

	=> possible DIY replacement by two Alkaline cells (2x1.5V) - 1
Li-cell has around 3.6V

    * FEW other macs, namely some Performas & like (68k as 
	well as PPC, e.g. PM5[234]00, PM6[234]00 series)
	use a PC-style, square-plastic-block-with-leads-and-0.1"-connector 
	3-cell alkaline battery pack
