It's definitely on the battery.  In fact the laptop came with two
batteries and each has the same little sliding switch.  Problem is:
after spending several hours recharging a battery (LED goes from
red to yellow/green), it only runs the laptop for a minute or two
before I get the low battery signal.

Something is wrong here.  I suppose both batteries could be dead.
But I'm guessing that I'm doing something wrong.  Perhaps the
little sliding switch on the battery needs to be in a particular
position for the battery to charge?

Let me emphasize:  the LED is on the laptap; the little sliding
switch is on the battery.  I know what the LED does; I do not
know what the little sliding switch does.

Cheers,
Steven
