Hello Jim: I have had a similar problem with my Duo 230s. It was solved by simply restarting with the battery _fully inserted_ into the bay (I once forgot to fully seat the battery). I also had a similar problem with my PB 540 "BTI" (Battery Technology Industries?) battery. I took the PB cover off to find that the BTI latch was about 2 mm shorter than the Apple battery latch and would not allow good contact of the battery terminals (I kept having cycling charge problems, charge, then no charge with no net charge occurring). I took the battery latch cap off and stuffed some cardboard between the battery and the cap to make the battery travel further into the bay before the catch latched. This all occurred because I disassembled and reassembled my PB. The battery had worked fine before that. I must have moved the motherboard over 1-2 mm. I hope this helps. Good luck!
