    This could not have been an original MP120 battery pack. All the
110/120/130 battery packs I have ever seem have had NiCds in them. And the
cells Apple used were unbranded with a black plastic covering.
    Sounds like what you have is a pack that someone rebuilt with NiMH
cells. Not a good idea in my opinion since recharging NiMH cells in the 1x0
series can only be described as risky.
