Hi Franklin,

Did you miss the following posted by Beth in Brasil about 7hrs ago?:

    We just had this happen to us. I thought the battery charger in the
    laptop was no good.
    Just by chance I inserted a brand new battery, and it works fine
    again. Both of our
    batteries, the spare also, were no good anymore. I think they last
    just so long.
    FWIW

Steve McCrystal also said the following:

    Lots of good battery info here:

    There is another site more Thinkpad Li-Ion specific, if I can find
    the URL.
