Well, one person suggested the switch was to hold the batter in tight, did
you notice? On the charging aspect, there is a thing about rechargeable
batteries, nickle cadmium at any rate: Over time they wear out. If not
drained before charging they develop a charge memory and won't properly
charge or discharge as well. This too takes some time. I presume you are
holding the second hand batteries that came with the laptop? It would not
be unwise to try a new battery pack and after all, more battery packs means
more time away from power.

Failing for having moved too fast sets you back farther than caution would
have.
