There are 4 contacts for the battery. Two of them are a bit larger and
are probably +10.8V and ground, but what about the other two contacts ??
I believe they are for the battery charge sensor (you know, that device
that makes your batterycharge drop from 85% to 5% within seconds). What
do you do with those two contacts ?? Does the BIOS think that the
battery is empty (and goes to hibernate) without something attached to
those contacts ?
