Battery question

	Our research group has bought a malfunctioning Zenith
laptop, the old ZWL-183-93 model.  It had some obvious faults
in the charging circuit, and no battery (but we got
it at a REAL good price...).  

	Before we add $105 for a new battery, we'd like to
verify that basic function is OK, and that means... we need 
to know what the voltages should be on the three-wire plug
in the battery compartment.  Does anyone know the pinout of
this battery?

	We've traced enough wires to give us a rough
idea, including polarity, BUT there's that nagging extra
wire... what does it do?

	The connector is three pins, 
#1 (square) - orange wire
#2 (round)  - red wire
#3 (round)  - brown wire, (-) battery terminal	

and it accepts a ZA-180-45 battery.

	Thanks; E-mail replies preferred, as this is probably of
no interest to most folk.
