A few hours isn't going to do SFA! Try a couple of days, and WORK
with the battery. You can't rely on the book to restore an old battery,
although you need the couple of days for the PRAM battery.
Buy a charger/discharger and use it. Completely discharge the
battery, and charge it a couple of times. The 150 often has power manager
issues, so reset it. Join the powerbook list.
