Madsonline page states:
  Compatibility Note Regarding MadsonLine Adapters & new PowerBooks
The PowerBook G4 12" & all iBooks are fully compatible with MadsonLine 
45W Adapters.
PowerBook G4 15" (867MHZ, 1GHZ) & 17" models will charge normally in a 
sleeping or shutdown state.
These PowerBooks will run off the adapter, but may not charge the 
battery at the same time.
During heavy usage, the PowerBook will draw from the battery while 
connected to the adapter.
We do not recommend 45W adapters with these models.

Apple has a similar statement in the developer notes for the 17" 
powerbook for its own adapters.

So, you won't be able to charge the battery, and use at your own risk.
