The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Battery Reset got the same response, too. I ended up buying two BTI batteries from MacConnection (with overnight shipping) for a little less than $300. Make sure the batteries at $120 aren't reburbed... but carry the full one-year warranty--that's the only caveat I'd offer.

Well, it looks like one of my Pismo battery is dead, or almost dead. I
noticed a few weeks ago that if it would sit on the shelf for a few days,
the next time I would put it in my Pismo, I would get the last LED blinking,
usually indicating that the battery is depleted. Usually, it would recharge
and I would get many 45 min. of juice out of it.

Now, I just put it back in and, sure enough, the last LED is blinking.
However, Mac OS X 10.2.6 says the battery is charged, although the LED is
still blinking. So, it seems it won't recharge anymore. I rebooted in 9 and
try Battery Reset 2.0 from Apple, but it said that I didn't need it on my
PowerBook model.

Any idea on how to reset the battery? If not, I've seen a few places that
are selling BatteryTech replacement for my Pismo around $120. Any gotcha or
recommendation before I take the plunge?

Thanks in advance!
