Ibook clamshell running on battery??

So today i turned on the ibook clamshell that always had a dead battery and it actually turned on and charged!! Its running rn under battery and says it has 3:15. Its been running for over hour now!! How is this possible? My duo 280c is also running on battery but dies in 30 sec.

It’s possible, happens to my PowerBook G4 17” too. I believe the batt goes too dead and reset under this circumstances. It’s being recalibrated and do take good care of it by leaving it charged when keeping in storage.

 
It all comes down to how it was used/how it was stored - I have several powerbooks that the batteries are still alive today
Cheers
