This sounds like a REALLY bad idea. Either get the 500 battery
working, or buy a GOOD one. Put the battery in the right slot, and run
Intelligent battery recondition (DL from Apple), and that may jolt the
battery to be seen. There is also software from Lind and another package
called EMMpathy (this is the best, and I'm forwarding you a link for this)
