Kirk,

Yes the battery will charge as long as it's connected and not failed. There is a circuit card on the battery that counts the power on days and limits the charge current for the battery. Realistically though if the thing has been running for more than a day that battery isn't going to take a charge. Usually I've seen only a small number of minutes before the card goes normal.

Interesting... Can I assume that the battery will charge as long as it is
attached to0 the card? It was left in this degraded state for several weeks,
so if it's getting charged while plugged in, they have other problems.
