My daughter's 15" 1.67mhz G4 has a newish battery that reports itself as having done 65,000 cycles. Yup.

For obvious reasons, the charging is not going so well. The battery has maybe only done 50 cycles in reality, and the cells should be good, so the problem is the circuitry. If I disconnect the circuitry, leave and then reconnect, would that clear the counter? Or is it toast?
