Battery for EEE-PC How to Diagnose if dead?

[santuitman]

Hello all
I have an Asus EeePc 1005HA that I got this spring. I've only used it about a dozen times and the battery will not charge. It had not been used for about two months. I was hoping to find out if it is really the battery or if I have some other problem. It appears that the PC "sees" the battery but will not charge it so I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a way to test just the battery itself. I'm guessing if I know which terminals I could try to charge it out of the laptop.
Thanks
Brian

Still under warranty?

If so, send it back and let them worry about it.

I wish... It was a refurb with 90 day warranty.
