"Electric" noise from inside, doesn't last more than 5 minutes on batt
I just picked up an early 06 MBP for a fine price of nearly free.
Immediately I find that the battery doesn't last more than 5-10 minutes although the battery when the test button is hit shows complete bars. Then when plugged in and powered on the magsafe doesn't attempt to charge the battery. Before I ditched OSX for arch I snagged a system profile which shows this:

I know that's about 59000-60000 mAh higher than reality would have it my question is this though:
GIven the noise, given the charge "info", given the fact that the battery doesn't actually charge after a no power death.
Is the battery actually bad?
What else could cause this failure to stay alive while on battery?
Hopefully in a month a friend of mine with the same laptop with zero issues will be back in town for me to test this battery in his machine.
