[P1] clamshell battery problems

Assuming that this was the new iBook battery he bought from me 
(completely new BTI battery, never even opened), I'm fairly certain 
mine needed to be fully charged out-of-the-box. Mine's been going 
strong for several months now; hasn't given me any trouble.

(Sorry you're having such bad luck, Marc!)
