Why would my battery still be charging when the percent indicated is 100%? Is there something wrong? I have tried resetting the PMU and PRAM.

the a/c adapters have been known to stay orange and not switch to green when charging is done. it is generally accepted as normal and does not mean the unit is necessarily defective.

Well, if it were only that I would accept it. But the icon in the system menu shows the lightning bolt as if it were still charging too.

Disconnect the AC adaptor from both the computer and the wall and then reconnect. Then remove the battery and put it back in. This resets everything. If you have access, try a different battery. Your battery may be the culprit here, not reporting to the system that it is already fully charged.

Stupid question > power conditioning? Is that when you run the battery all the way down and then charge it up again? or is there some special/cool way to do it on a mac like with everything else  (i just got my powerbook about 15 minutes ago, and i was wondering if there is anything special i should do with the battery)

Yep you are correct. Just run the battery down until your powerbook goes to sleep and then charge it back up.

Well, it eventually stops charging (light turns green), but it charges for some time while the indicator says 100%.

The icon in your bar doesn't change when the battery reaches a 100% but click on it and in the drop-down window it will say whether the battery is still 'charging' or if it is 'calculating untill fulll'. I found iBatt to be informative about my battery. It's a demo, but still usefull ...
