[Ti] External Charger for TiBook?

[Kynan Shook]

A quote from <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88231>:
"The 65 W Apple Portable Power Adapter is used with the PowerBook G4 (1 
GHz/867 MHz) computer. It also works with computers that use the 45 W 
adapter. The AC cord for the 65 W adapter cannot be used with the 45 W 
adapter, however."

I believe that if you use the 45W adapter with a computer that shipped 
with the 65W adapter, the battery may or may not charge, and it may 
even draw some power from the battery if the power adapter can't 
provide enough power.
