Drew, I just found this Apple Knowledge Base Info for everything you may want to know about the PowerbookG3, batteries, etc. Also do try Battery Reset 2.0 as a download from Apple. Note especially the article on the link below about PBG3 battery adjustment.
http://kbase.info.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/kbase.woa/wa/GuidedSearch?sea rchString=Wallstreet+battery+bay+adjustment+procedure&0.15.26.9.x=32&0.15.26 .9.y=13&action=0&debuglevel=&interface=&browserType=IE Also try cleaning your terminals on the battery and inside the computer - To clean the contact points use the rubber eraser found on a simple wood pencil and scrub it clean with friction - not any liquid clearer. This the best information I can give you right now from what I have received and searched out on the internet and Apple. If you have trouble with the link above go to Apple Knowledge Base and search for "Wallstreet battery adjustment procedure!" Good luck! Write me personally if you need anything. I now have my PBG3 charging!!!!!
