Also, at least for the /70 I've had problems on systems where the battery
was reported to have failed, but on investigation the trouble was found
to be dirty connectors between the battery/speaker subframe and the
connector on the system board.  Remove the battery and subframe, clean
the contacts (if only by rubbing them with a cloth), and wiggle them a
lot when you reinstall the subframe on the system board, and the battery
in the subframe.

Of course, the battery might really be dead, in which case I haven't the
faintest idea where you might find a replacement.
