Ok, thanks. I will just get a new battery and try again. Radio Shack is
really the only place I can buy them locally unless the local mac dealer has
them - though with my recent luck they may be closed Monday as well.

The one I pulled out is a SAFT. One of my spares is a SAFT as well, but with
a shorter tip.
