I recently acquired an apparently never used rechargeable battery for my
MP2100 and had the same thing happen. I plugged it in and it said "waiting"
rather than charging. It turns out that it really was charging. (After I
unplugged it and turned it back on, it showed that the battery had charged.)
More recently it has gone back to saying "Charging" when it was charging.
So it is probably nothing to worry about. --Barry

I did the reset. The battery pack is brand new and had very little
charge. The eMate said that the battery was low as soon as I put it in
and turned it on. Will it say charging or will it say waiting until its
charged? I just want to be sure that the new battery pack is OK.
