Not an expert, but try setting (from the OK prompt)
setenv diag-switch? false
then tell the system to boot.
If this doesn't help, your problem is probably worse than just the
battery dieing.
Remember that now that your nvram is dead, you will have to reset this
and any other variables you care about each time the power goes off.
Mark Hendersons' NVRAM FAQ is excellent for getting the NVRAM replaced
