You'll want to try Intelligent Battery Recondition by Apple - the "intelligence" EMM circuit in 500 series batteries were prone to corruption, rendering the battery unusable. Download from:
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Eng lish-North_American/Macintosh/PowerBook/Other_PB_SW/ ....and put the battery in the right hand side compartment and run the app, it should fix things so that EMMpathy can then do its thing too. If IBR cracks the poo swear at it, rip the battery out aggressively, then jam it back in with determination; 500 series batteries can be problematic and can smell your fear. Show it who's boss and usually it'll give in. If not, consider re-celling the pack. Unless of course you're made of money and don't mind burning US$300 on 2 new packs....
