My tablet battery has a crack. – IntelliQuilter

The battery is no longer good to use in the tablet. Discard the battery according to the environmental laws in your state, don't throw it in the garbage. There are places that take these and recycle them safely.

You can buy a new battery here if they are still in production for your tablet model:

You can also remove the battery and work without it, but get a 150-200 VA battery backup power supply for about the same price. Plug only the AC-adapter in this device. This will keep the tablet running, just like the internal battery, in case of a power outage while the iQ is running.

My battery was cracked so I immediately removed it and ordered a new one. In the meantime when I put my tablet on the docking station it tells me that the battery is low and to wait a few minutes and try again. I tried re-docking the tablet a few times with no luck. I'd appreciate any ideas - short of taking a week's vacation waiting for the new battery.
