How do I change the battery in my PowerBook 5xx?

Replacing the Backup Battery in a Powerbook 5xx

The backup battery, which powers the date and time while your computer is shut down, and lets you boot up without the AC adapter, is quite easy to replace on a Powerbook 5xx. All that's needed is a small TORX driver (available at any hardware store for less than $5.00), a grounding wrist strap and some common sense. JB Cole shows you how on his web page:
