On Thursday, accessory manufacturer Newer Technology announced a new line of tech products designed for students returning this fall, among them a line of high-capacity iBook batteries as well as an introductory tool kit for basic repairs.

According to Macworld, the lineup features two new higher-capacity NuPower batteries designed for use in Apple's iBook notebooks. The first model is designed for the older "clam shell" iBooks and features 4,400 MaH power, a 37.5% greater capacity than the battery originally shipped with those iBooks.

The company has also released a 4,400 mAh battery for use with the 14" iBook G3 models. The new battery sports 18.2% more capacity than Apple's original stock battery.

Both battery models retail for US$99.95 each.

NewerTech's 11 Piece Portable Toolkit includes straight blade and Philips head screwdrivers, Torx driver, a scissor clamp, tweezers and two “spudger” prying tools in a padded nylon carrying case. The kit is priced at US$17.99 kit and is aimed at anyone who needs to service computer and other electronic devices like iPods.

If you've tried Newer Technology's products recently and have any feedback about them, let us know over in the comments or forums.

Using their 65W charger with my PBG4 and it works very well, 3 yr guarantee. Looks just like the photos of cheaper ones on Amazon, tho.
