Some updates: Battery 1 appears to work after all. I let the PB boot from it, and it got to the desktop no trouble. Haven't tested how long it lasts though.
Battery 2 is completely dead - does not charge at all. I have disassembled it, and instead of discovering standard AA size cells, there are four long, fat cells, putting out a total of 9.6v. Apparently they're size "4/3A." Would it be possible to just replace these four with 8 1.2v AA cells? Or must I use these odd 4/3A cells?
