Interesting battery problem, has anyone seen this

Hi,
My DR1000s was showing 50% battery last night, which looked a little bit suspicous to me, since it was not used since the last recharge, which was a day ago. So I let it drain by leaving it open and turning off the auto shut down.
In the morning, it was shut down, and when I opened it, the battery looks fully charged!
The problem is it is not! the device shuts down in 20 secs or so, and does not start again since the battery is empty. But when I plug it to the computer and boot it, the battery indicator shows full, and it does not show the symbol on the battery indicator that says charging.
I'll leave it like this for a couple of hours, but if it does not work, it means I have a device which won't charge since it thinks the battery is full, and a battery that is empty! Do the math, I can only use it connected to the computer. I'm just about to go away for a week.. hold on a minute!

Ok, just when I was writing this, the screen flashed, and the battery indicator turned into empty, and its charging. Thanks for watching this live broadcast from London, we're now back to MobileReader forums...
