AFAIK, you don't have to disconnect the internal battery to reset power
manager. The instructions have been oft repeated -- just hold in the power
button on the back for 30-40 seconds.

I had to look this up again to make sure, but the TIL says:
http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n14449
"PowerBook 200 and 2300 Series
1. Press and hold the power button on the rear of the 200 or 2300 series
computer for 30-45 seconds.*
2. (see Caution) If resetting the Power Manager chip does not solve the
problem, reset the code for the Power Manager chip by removing all power
sources and letting the unit sit for 10 minutes. (Disconnect the AC adapter,
remove the battery and the internal backup battery.) This forces the
PowerBook Duo to reload the Power Manager code from the system software.
**Caution** Apple-authorized service technicians may remove the internal back
up battery to reset the Power Manager. If you are not an Apple-authorized
service technician, please note that removing the internal backup battery is
not a simple procedure and is not recommended. If anything is damaged in your
attempt to remove the battery, it will not be covered under warranty."
I have tried Number 1, but have not yet tried 2. Did not know if it would
make a big difference.
