Hmmm, you could maybe try to do a power manager reset, but I doubt it will work. Maybe the power manager board is toasted? I had a similar issue when I had my Wallstreet. The battery was almost dead and after plugging the adapter, it would appear fully charged. When I would disconnect the adapter, I would get a message that the battery was fully discharged and that the computer would go to sleep in a few seconds. Turned out to be the power manager board. Apparently, when this board goes bad, you get all kind of strange behavior when dealing with batteries. Just a thought, I'm not sure at all that this is your problem.
