If you have a know-good battery from a good supplier.
The problem is with the power adapter, it will need to be replaced.

DO NOT purchase a 'rebuilt' or 'refurbished' battery! This is NOT a OEM battery, but should work for years with care.

Powerbook g4 will not start on battery tho battery is fully charged. Will start on AC.

Are the contacts for the battery on the laptop good, no corrosion or anything?

I own a ibook G4 1.42 ghz and the battery no longer seems to charge when plugged in. I recently purchased a nupower battery and it worked great. Should I try an external charger?

I'd try another AC adapter first. It's not unknown for them to go bad and no longer deliver the power necessary to charge the battery. It's really unlikely for the charge circuitry internal to the iBook to go bad.

My iBook G4 has got a power problem.

You probably need a new battery but that machine should only get about 3-4hours with a great battery.

G4 1.67 power book. The only way I can get it to boot up is to run the battery flat vie fan motor and then leave it on charge until fully charged. It will then boot up. But if try and restart it will not...

Apple laptops are designed to run properly from AC with no battery installed at all. Physically remove the battery, plug in the AC adapter, and it should run fine.
If it does not, reset the power management unit as described here:

If this doesn't work, you have a hardware issue that a repair tech would have to address.
