Carole - the aluminium Powerbook was introduced 5 years ago this month  
(that is when I ordered my current one, that is why I remember), so if  
you have the original battery from 5y ago, and are still getting 3h of  
life, that seems amazing !  I would hardly call that "dying" !

Li-ion batteries seem to last about 2 years, normally, 300 to 500  
'cycles'.

I use Coconut Battery to follow the status of my battery.

I bought my current battery from OWC.  The first one they sent me was  
defective, but they replaced it and their battery is excellent.  It  
has about 10% greater capacity than the original Apple one.
