I have a clamshell iBook (Firewire) and its battery is lasting less than 20 minutes from being fully charged. And that's when I'm not doing anything.
I've tried resetting the power manager, but that didn't help. Do I need a new battery? Where can I get a reliable one?

Lith-Ion batteries DO have a finite life-span ... it's length is affected by lots of things, so it's hard to say just how long it SHOULD last.
For best quality, I'd check with Apple ('course their price will be high as well) .... else I'd look around on line at the myriad mac resellers.

double check, but I believe that one's for the clamshells.
