No battery detected but computer runs on the battery!
Why is the battery not being detected but it is obviously charged and able to be used? Any ideas? My MacBook Pro is about 3 years old.

The battery is rarely ever used on this laptop. It sits on the desk and is only used there so I doubt the battery has gone through many cycles at all.

At this point, you can help people help you by posting your battery stats. Do "About this Mac..." then click "More info..." This launches System Profiler, or "SP." In the left-hand pane, single-click "Poweer" and a bunch of power-related info shows up in teh main pane. Under "Battery Information are a number of things. Copy and everything in that section EXCEPT the battery serial number and paste into a reply to your own post. Then people can give you an idea of how to proceed, as that info pretty much tells all about the condition of the battery.
