its a li-ion, but a relatively new one, and its definately not dead: even 
though i got warning signals and a blinking 'battery low' LED continuously, i 
could use it for the normal 3 hours before the laptop finally switched off.

i now completely discharged it, and took it out (running without battery now). 
I'll try to stick it back in after a while ... (i already tried it a couple 
of minutes ago, and it was not solved: i could charge the battery - only 
tried a little bit - and discharge it until it ran out again, 
but /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/ always said "0 mwh remaining"). maybe i have to 
wait a little bit longer ?

greetings,
frank
