Laptop Battery Problem

I have an old battery for my laptop.
Last week the laptop was too long in "Stand-by".
Now the laptop doesn't find the battery.
...so it also isn't loaded by the laptop.

It's a Battery for a Siemens-Nixdorf - Scenic Mobile 510.
Does someone knows a way to load the battery without the laptop??
...or another way to fix this problem...

thanks,
Georg

The battery is most likely worn down from age. After about 2 to 3 years,
they have to be replaced.
