Batteries that sit for awhile will lose their capacity to charge. For
example, a NiCad battery supposedly loses 50% of it's charging capacity
every thirty days that it sits. Unfortunately, you're going to have to
spend the money.

> I have a PC ARK (model P90, made by Twinhead) laptop that has gone dead.
It is about 3 years old, a Pll 300. I let it sit for several months and now
the battery will not charge - it has 3 lights on the front that all would
light up when it was charged; now only one light will come on. The battery
was getting where it would not hold a charge long before this happened. It
will not work with only the adaptor plugged in - I assume because the
battery is gone. If I pull out the battery, the one light will not even
come on - I don't believe it would ever work w/o the battery in on the
adaptor. Is there any way to confirm that it is indeed a bad battery? A
replacement goes for $170 from Twinhead, so I don't want to pay this
