Q: iBook Clamshell not charging battery

The iBook is a G3 Clamshell model 366Mhz Graphite. Has 192MB RAM and has OS X Tiger installed.

 

When plugged in and switched off the power ring lights orange. As soon as i switch it on it turns green. In OS X it has the battery icon like it is charged but if i click it it remains saying "Calculating... until full" and if i select Show > Percentage it says 0%.

 

If i put the iBook to sleep the power ring lights orange again.

 

The battery is old and most probably its original battery. I bought the iBook second hand about a year ago and the battery never worked for me.

iBook, Mac OS X (10.3.x)
