When you have the Battery Adapter connected to your PowerBook does

If not, it could be the Power Adapter is not working correctly &

Yes it's on and green. I left the PowerBook shut down and unplygged
last night and when I plugged in the adaptor this morning it glowed
orange and recharged to green. Interestingly the computer shows the
battery @99%, not 100% charged.
Hi Reg,
This is normal. Apple say:
"The batteries used in these computers are designed to avoid short
discharge/charge cycles in order to prolong the overall life of the
battery. Because of this, when setting the Mac OS X battery status
menu bar icon to display charge state by percentage, you may notice
that the reported charge stays between 93 or 95 percent and 99
percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 93 or 95
percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent."
Cheers,
Ronni
