I reset in reading mode, not data transfer.
I suspect that the Reader does not like being re-charged too often by a Charger.
Some are crude, unregulated and really only suitable for recharging nickel metal hydride batteries. They put out a higher voltage which floats down according to load. It is possible that a protective circuit in the reader might be triggered by the initial high voltage.
Some are regulated and put out a steady 5V 500ma like a USB port on a computer.
Some are made and optimised for recharging Lithium Ion batteries, they have a charging Cycle built in. You recognise these as they normally have a light that starts on charging and goes out at the end of the cycle. Sounds familiar? Yes, there is just such a charge manager within your Reader controlling the charge light. In this case, who's in charge? Must be a conflict for certain.
And when the Cable is plugged in for recharge to the computer, is there exchange of control info? Of course you have to tell the reader you are not using the cable as comms, but then what? Is there recharging info going across?
I don't know, but I didn't get a charger with my reader, you are supposed to use a computer, not someone else's charger.
