Hmmm. This seems to be a common problem with Wallstreet batteries. Mine has been toast for about 1.5 years now (I never bothered buying a new one). Everyone seems to have a different explanation for this problem, and Apple flatly refuses to recognize that there is any issue w/ the Wallstreet charge card/battery combination. There have been litterally hundreds of posts to Apple's support discussion forum about this issue. Some people suggest getting a new battery, some suggest replacing the charge card. I did the latter - FWIW, it made no difference. I don't want to waste $$ on a new battery that will die a few months later, so I've never bought a new one. If you get a reasonable response to this issue, I'd love to hear it! In the meantime, I've done EVERYTHING I can think of. It would appear that my battery is just plain toast. Rather disappointing for a $170 battery and $2000+ computer. If Wallstreets didn't have such good performance, I should consider them road Apples - they have iffy batteries/power circuits, defective display hinges that inevitably break, and the keyboard is too close to the display when closing the lid causing scratches and other marks on the LCD. Like I said, though, the performance of these machines (provided you don't have the cacheless 233MHz version) is terrific.
