I have a PRS 500 that I bought on eBay in February. I usually charge it with the charger that came with it which plugs into the wall. When I plug in the charger, the red light comes on. If I leave it plugged in to charge overnight the red light is off in the morning. This should mean that it is fully charged, but the indicator shows only two boxes (50%).

Is the problem with the indicator or with the battery? I.e. is it fully charged but not showing as such, or is it only holding a partial charge?

Normally it wouldn't really matter, but I am going on a week-long vacation and trying to decide if I need to pack the charger.
