Believe it or not, sometimes even the TechTool Pro 3 disk needs to be loaded with extensions off. Load the disk via C, then as soon as you have grab, hit and hold SHIFT until a complete load. The disk will run as normal and you can do your tests and repairs. You may still find the problem is not battery related, but a serious screw up in extensions or a serious corruption of any number of software ops, from finder to prefs load.
