I had the same problem with my Titanium Powerbook too, it's the 3rd party
battery doesn't fit quite the same as the original battery... I put a few
pieces of tape on the opposite side from where the contacts and latch are or
the side where the 2 plastic lock pins are so it would hold it in tighter, add
one piece of tape at a time till it stops doing it... I hope this works for you
like it did for me???

Subject: battery charging problem on powerbook g4
hi there, i could use some help, if anyone has any brilliant ideas...
my 17 (1.67) powerbook isn't charging battery properly, it seems to
keep start and stop charging, as the info at upper right switches from
not charging battery to calculating time to full charge... i've
only had this cpu a few months, and was using old battery that only
lasted 20 minutes, so mostly was using adapter, but the battery would
charge ok when i depleted it. then last week i got a new 3rd party
battery, did the 'condition' thing: full charge, full drain, repeat
4-5 times, but then yesterday the screen started going very very dark
suddenly and battery did not seem to go past 8% (this is from what i
could tell when i restarted and screen stays bright for a few
minutes.). hooked it up to external screen which works for a minute or
so, then that screen goes black as well. so now using old battery
which has some charge but it's draining, as it tries to chrage then
stops, etc...
any ideas? much appreciated!
