In the attempt to use Apple's Battery Recondition to do just that, recondition a battery, it appears to have destroyed the battery, or at least the battery's ability to work in the PB.
The battery in question is a BTI Higher Capacity NiMH battery, Model number MC-1950. The PB is a 5300cs. I kept the PB plugged in and ran Battery Recondition (the battery was working fine before, I just figured that after a couple months of use it was due for reconditioning) - it went through the white screen with the floating battery symbol and then (having let Battery Recondition run overnight), when I awoke this morning the PB was asleep. I woke it from sleep and shut it down. When I came back this afternoon, the battery symbol in the menu bar had a X through it. Several attempts to re-seat it in the battery compartment had no affect. When I tried to run Battery Recondition again, it said there was no battery in the battery compartment. Is this a common symptom of using Battery Recondition? Should I only use it with Apple batteries? Any hope of getting the dead battery to recover? How do I go about it? Thanks in advance.
