I replaced the battery which was really shot. New battery showed good charge and charged to 100% one time. After that, battery is discharging but green light shows on charger connecter and battery icon in menu bar shows ‘charging’. SMC and PRAM resets seem to have no effect.

Sounds like board repair required. Most likely charging ic requires attention…

'Charging IC' -- is that something I could change out or repair without nutsy hassle?

Erin Campbell, yes I found a solution. I'm late for the train -- maybe you've moved on by now but here is what I found out. Please see my answer with picture posted below.

Maybe your computer doesn’t recognize the new battery but your cable does…. this is pretty strange…….
my my answer is what I assume….. you could get apple support or here https://support.apple.com/mac/macbook-ai...
So some time after posting my problem with the 2011 Macbook Air, above, I was giving it a long last look before tossing it.
(See my 'answer' to my own question, below, for the picture that relates to this explanation.) Next to the battery connector is a package about 3/4 inch square. On one side it attaches to the logic board by two stout solder points. Looking very closely I discovered cracks across both of these connectors. Wiggling this package would intermittently cause the battery to actually begin charging. So — solved. A touch with the soldering iron and a tiny bit of additional solder and the Macbook is back in business.
I would add, this computer has been severely abused. Dropped, hurled, knocked around. The case is so badly bent you can practically hold it edge-on and see daylight out the other side. My wife thinks I should send it to Apple as a testimony to its toughness. No idea how much longer it may last, but for now it is repaired and working as it should. At least as regards charging the battery.
