Hi Nina, It is possible that you got a brand new battery, however, it was brand new in 1996 (or whenever it was). After sitting on a shelf for that long, it is quite possible that the chemicals inside are simply worn out.
If you take both batteries to a shop capable of rebuilding battery packs, and get them rebuilt, they will be 2003-new, and should last a lot longer. -- John -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
