I had a request for the part numbers for the Gates batteries that I 
put in my HP 110 portable, here is the information I received.
Hope this helps, Robert. (I couldnt seem to get through to you via E-Mail)

|The battery is a lead-acid sealed cell (it is 3 "D-sized cells in series) 
|and as such does not suffer from the nickel-cadmium memory problem.  The
|correct way to use the 110 is to keep it fully changed, in fact plugged
|in when you can and do not drain the battery to the point where the 110 
|decides to power down.
|
|The battery is not "user-replaceable", but is easy enough to do anyways.
|
|We sell the battery at an exhorbitant fee because it has a custom connecting
|system.  The cells are from Gates.  You can remove the battery and replace
|the individual cells if you like.  The Gates number is 0810-0004.  It is a
|2 volt 2.5 Amp-Hour cell (you'll need 3).  You'll need to solder the new 
|cells in place after clipping the old ones out.  You can also buy the cells
|put together from Gates with their PN 0810-0216 and re-use the plastic piece
|from your old batteries.  The HP part number for the battery pack is 1420-0329.
|
|>From your desciption the battery is indeed dead and you cannot revive it.
|It has lived it's life and should be retired.
