There are two versions of the Battery Reconditioner program, 1.1 and 1.3. To use the Battery Reconditioner program on a PowerBook (Duo) 2300c you must have version 1.3. This version came pre-installed in the Utilities folder on PowerBook Duo 2300c computers. Version 1.3 is backward compatible with previous PowerBook Duo computers, thus it can be used on any PowerBook (Duo) computer even though it was specifically created for the PowerBook 2300c.
Battery Reconditioner version 1.1 shipped with the PowerBook (Duo) 280c and is backward compatible with PowerBook (Duo) computers that were released before the 280c (210, 230, 270c). It is not compatible with the PowerBook 2300c or any PowerBook Duo computer that has been upgraded with a Power PC logic board.
