HELP WANTED

I have an old Dell Vostro 1400 laptop which has developed a battery charging issue.  Unable to determine whether it is the battery or the charging circuitry in the laptop, I am loathe to throw money at a new battery if that doesn't fix the problem.

If anyone has a Vostro 1400 or Inspiron 1420 (same beast) I would appreciate the opportunity to try briefly swapping batteries to help identify the faulty item.
