The Macintosh Performa 6115CD is a model in Apple's Performa 6100 series, the consumer versions of the Power Macintosh 6100/60. Apple's specification sheet gives an introduction date of 1 November 1994 and a 350 MB SCSI hard drive.[1] Apple's service manual lists it with 8 MB of RAM, a 350 MB SCSI hard drive, an AppleCD 300i Plus drive, a TelePort fax/data modem and an Apple Multiple Scan 15 Display.[2] EveryMac lists a 15-inch monitor, an external 14.4k modem and a home-office software bundle, at US$2,600 (order number M3435LL/A).[3]
Apart from the drive, monitor, modem and software it is the same machine as the Macintosh Performa 6110CD, whose page has the model table, the full specification, Apple's symptom charts and the battery and reset procedures.[2]

The battery is a 3.6 V lithium cell.[1] Apple's test, in the Power Macintosh 6100 Service Source, is to replace it below 3.2 V on the 10 V DC range.[4] Neutralise leakage from a lithium cell with bicarbonate of soda; see Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage.
