Here's the pinout diagram for the //c power supply plug.

Pos.  Function

 3     Signal (common) ground
 4     Shield (chassis) ground
 5     +15VDC output to //c input
 6     +15VDC output to //c input

Personally, no, but according to Apple's own Technical Reference on the
//c it will accept anything from 9 to 20 volts of DC input. Based on
that, a 12V gel-cell ought to work nicely (but keep in mind that the //c
consumes up to 25 watts). Hope you're able to work things out.
