Well, I've got an interesting follow-up to make.  Basically tried a twist of
what Josh suggested.  Removed battery, then plugged in AC Adapter, powered
right up.  Put battery back in, let it charge up.  But get this!  Unplugged
AC, let computer run on battery.  Not low power mode nor sleep.  The unit
stayed on for almost 5 hours from 4:15 PM to 9 PM.  Granted I wasn't using
computer but it was powering screen all along.  So I am thinking that this
complete power drain of battery and restart method has basically zeroed the
battery memory.  Could be a potential charging technique here.

I'm charging it up here again and going to let Battery Amnesia run it down
to see how long that takes.  The norm for this battery is about 1.6 hours.
I'll report on results tomorrow sometime.
