Well I tried it and the battery still seems to have problems. I am just a little concerned because I can't seem to find a battery that works. It is possible I have a lot of dead batteries. But I am a little worried. I had heard that it is possible, but unlikely that the code for the Power Manager can go bad, is there any way to reset this?

You need to recondition the battery using the utility that is hopefully on your hard drive.
