Unplug it.  Shut down the thinkpad.  Remove all AC adapters.  Let it at that
for a while, to make quite sure the entire EC powered down for real.

Then, replug the battery, plug AC adapter, turn thinkpad on and boot Windows
to use the thinkpad battery suite to test the battery.  Check what it says,
and call Lenovo for a replacement depending on what you find.

But that serial number in your battery is really weird.  Is it an original
Lenovo part?
