it's not just the battery, there's clearly something wrong on the 
main board based on the lights pattern when it's trying to power up.
both liebert and the local distributor i bought it from pretty much
wrote it off.

someone already put dibs on it, just for the fun of playing
with dead electronic things, so i'm just going to dump it.
not like i need it that much anymore, after my switch from
desktop to laptop, anyway.
