No.

I did that. I kept flashing in yellow until it died. Now it looks more 
normal.

The thinkpad is 22 months old (no idea if the battery is older/newer), 
and I suspect the battery hasn't been used much. When I unplug the AC 
now my battery applet starts out saying 6 hours, then quite fast drops 
to 3 hours. Maybe I should simply replace the battery...
