My first question is how do you know the battery is charging?
(There's no indicator.)

Polarity is the only consideration in installation, aside from
good contacts.  Did anything happen to the card between the
last time it worked and now?

When the computer is on, the battery should be irrelevant.
It is needed only to retain the time when the computer is off.
