    Battery will not charge when plugged in

    I also have an iBook G4, but my problem is my battery charging properly. It states that it has a full charge, then it drops to a 50% charge in no time. I've tried Battery Health Monitor and it doesn't even recognize my battery. Anyone got any suggestions?
