Oddly enough I had EXACTLY the same problem with a ZE4805WM laptop. I
had really weird luck with eBay batteries for this machine. The factory
battery was perfect. Battery #1 from eBay would usually give a charge
error (flashing yellow LED) but if wiggled right would work perfectly
until jolted, at which time it would go into error mode again (but
would still power the machine). Battery #2 would give the symptom you
describe.
In both cases the problem was dry solder joints on the I2C lines inside
the battery. Although there is no guarantee the LOCATION of the problem
is the same for you, the chances are >95% that the SOURCE of the
problem is the same.
It would be very instructive if you could isolate it to either the
laptop or the battery by trying another battery.
