[ltp] battery electronics

[Macskasi Csaba]

Hey list!

A friend of mine shot the electronics of the battery of my thinkpad by  
charging the battery with an external charger. The cells are ok, the  
voltage is correct, but the laptop doesn't work unplugged. I can read  
battery information from /proc/acpi/battery successfully. Also if I plug  
in the battery to the thinkpad it is beeing  charged.
Is there any way to reset the electronics in the battery manually?  
(Perhaps removing the cells and not giving the electronics power for some  
time?)

The picture of the opened battery can be viewed here:

Thanks in advance,
Csaba
