Battery completely drained on my 2006 White MacBook. Now battery will not charge.

I let the battery completely drain on my 2006 White MacBook (Mac OS X 10.5.8). Now the battery indicator says that it is plugged in and 0% charged. WHen the magsafe is unplugged the computer shuts down. Previously, the battery worked great with hours of charge. I dont want a new battery unless it needs one. I tried to reset the SMC and I also ran the AHT. Is there anything else to do?

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Or for $129 from The Apple Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
