Much praise upon you kinsman. A combination of removing the battery and pushing 
the reset button has restored my baby to her former vigah!

I'll have to search through the other batteries I have for another functional
one.

Ahem, the following is an admittedly dumb question, but ignorance will not be 
forestalled. Do the switches on IBM batteries actually serve any useful 
function? On all of my other laptops they served only as an indicator of 
charge/nocharge and weren't actually connected to anything internally.

Thanks again for all the assistance.

James
