Toshiba T-1000 Laptop Battery Hack

 Toshiba T-1000

B A T T E R Y     H A C K
-------------------------

   This is a basic battery modification or hack for the 
   Toshiba T-1000
laptop which allows you to use AA (alkaline/Nicad/
Nimh) batteries. (My Version)

-------

Customized modification allows the use of household
D, C, AA, and AAA batteries in laptop and notebook
computers instead of their proprietary batteries
 
 -------
 
 The Nimh are preferable since I've found those to 
 last longer, and also
to be rechargeable using the 9 volt DC power brick 
that is used with the
laptop.

  The main required item is the black, 4 - AA battery 
  battery holder, used
originally for the CMOS battery backup in the early 
AT's before the new
battery packs (which included nicad batteries) were 
put out.

  Required  Items:
    -----------
 .1    Toshiba T-1000 battery
 .1    4 - AA battery holder  (Radio Shack  270-391)
 .1    small saw or etco blade/knife
 .1    30-35 Watt soldering iron
 .1    Standard rosin core solder
 .1    Piece of small gauge insulated wire
 .1    Screw (same size of that used in the battery 
 compartment but at least 1/4" of an inch longer.
    -----------

 
        

------
(Use Amazon, Walmart, EBay or a browser search to
find hard to find or old parts)
------



    The first order of business is to cut the holder in half 
    at the "cut"
point indicated in the picture above.   The saw worked 
best for me.
  Be careful not to cut the black wire which is 
  represented in the photo above
as "connection 2", unless you don't mind soldering or 
piecing it back together
later.   You will have to cut "connection 1" and solder a 
piece of insulated
wire between it.
   At this point you will need your original battery.   First, 
   cut all 4
leads going to the battery as close as you can get to 
the battery.  Solder
the 2 black leads together with the black lead coming 
from your new battery
pack.   Solder the 2 red leads together with the red 
lead coming from your
new battery pack.

 The Modification is complete at this point.
 
 
 

UPDATE: 

 If you have an internal modem installed, please 
 proceed to Section Z
 below...
If you don't have an internal modem installed, please 
skip Section Z below.


SECTION Z:

You will not use the T-1000 battery compartment,but 
will need 2 pieces of cardboard
 to pad the area beneath it because the 2 pieces of the 
 battery holder will
be laid flat.  So a piece of card board beneath and on 
top of the battery
holders to prevent anything from possibly shorting out 
either the motherboard,internal modem, or battery 
holders.




CONCLUSION:

  Placing the 2 pieces of the battery holder "back to 
  back" will allow them
 to fit in the T-1000 battery compartment
   The battery lid will not go on unless you replace the 
   screw with one that
 is a little longer.
 Thank you and enjoy....
