I had the same problem with some batteries in my Duo (2300, but close enough)
I got a few type III batteries from the local university's surplus
shop for next to nothing. I figures at $1 a peice it was a good
gamble :-)
Most of the batts were shot and woudn't hold a charge but a few, when
I put them in, would cause my duo to just turn off, no matter what it
did.
I think that the cells in the battery were so dead that they caused
the charging circut (in the power managment unit) in the Duo to panic
and turn off.
So, you probably have a dead Duo battery.
