So, here's my problem:

I have a brand new battery in my PB Titanium 667. When plugging in the charger, the light turns to green after 15 minutes, and only a few percentage of the battery gets charged. I can not get past this behaviour. I alreadz reset the PRAM, booted to open firmware, reset the Power Manager, to no avail, I can't get the battery to charge fully. At one time after a Power Manager reste, I got a warning that the battery will die in 10 minutes, but I managed to work off the battery for an hour and 40 minutes after the warning. I then reset everything again, tried to charge again, but after 15 minutes it decided it's done again, no more charging. I checked the battery, it has 3700 mAh charge, so it should work, but it doesn't. Sam thing with my old battery. I bet it's a Power Manager problem, but I can't get the system to work with the battery.

Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Thanks,
Ben

PS: yeah, the title is from a Pitchshifter song.

First off, what do you mean by "brand new battery"? Apple doesn't sell brand new batteries for the Titaniums anymore, so I'm curious what you got and where you got it. If it's new and yet has been on a shelf for a long time, it can actually be dead before you've even opened it. If it's a third party battery, what's the manufacturer?

I got the Battery from Germany. The battery is fine, as I could once get it to work for about 2 hours, and using

ioreg -l | grep -i IOBatteryInfo

revealed the 3700 value, which is just shy of the 4400 max capacity the grep showed.

Plus my old and new batteries take the same time to charge and discharge. On the minute. So I donát think it's the battery.
