(Left the whole question as I'm not sure you all read it with the first 
not descriptive subject :-))

Firstly: Just curious why you call PB G4 400-500 somethins else than 
just old Tibook. (Or are you by Mercury refering to some other Tibook I 
don't know about?

I wonder how you know the battery is holding a charge if the computer 
dies and shows all signs of a defective battery when you unplug it from 
the current? (Are you possibly using this battery succesfully in 
another Tibook?)

Are you asking us if you may have a damage hardware connection to the 
battery and if that is replaceable? Is the Hardware Test CD which came 
with the PB of no help in  checking if that is the problem?

If you enter the choice of seeing the loading of the battery in the 
menubar you should be able to see if the battery is being charged in 
this Tibook or if you now is limited to using this Tibook connected to 
current.

More questions than answers I'm afraid. :-)
