It takes quite a while to resurrect a battery; check on it tomorrow.

Don't bother. The handoff from trickle to full charge does not
work properly. I'm deep into chasing this bug right now.
It will never charge more than just barely enough for the one-wire
bus to work and unless can look at battery + lines with a scope or
VOM you can't tell.
I left the battery in the B2 over night at home hopefully trickle-
charging, took the machine to the office, but it wouldn't even power
on. I had to detach AC, remove battery, attach AC, power on, insert
battery. Is this normal? Should a dead battery prevent a B2 from
powering up?
