It was powering a string trimmer when the trimmer started smoking at the trimmer head. this happened after warrantee ran out. after buying a new trimmer and attempting to use the old battery, the old battery will not work to power ecquipment any more although it indicates full charge. What can I do?

TJ, I've had the same problem since yesterday and I found the solution (lots of googling - that's how I found your post BTW).
It turned out that the switch malfunction is a common problem.
The part number for the FA3-4 switch is:
ut41002a-36 ("switch assembly")
Available here (thru Amazon):
http://factorylawnandgarden.com/product/553902/B000PLVCX8/SWITCH_ASSEMBLY_UT41002A_36/
It's a Homelite part, which is identical to Ryobi.
Here is the manual showing it (part 6):

Here is the thread with the solution:

Try to turn on the Keyboard.
There's a switch in the right side of the Keyboard.

talked to Ryobi and they are vague. It can either mean that the battery is bad, or the charger is bad and another one that maybe the contacts of the battery are dirty or not seating fully in charger. What I would look for in this instance first unplug the charger and look into charging slot to make sure the terminals of the charger are not bent and they come out into the cavity where battery would go. If not gently pull terminal into opening and retry. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance

Check the Ground Fault Indicator circuit breaker for triping, and look for the high limit on generator. Reset the main breaker by triping it full right and then back. Vitally

More than likely a defective battery sinse the other ones charge fine..
Bring it back for exchange of another one..
