Well done. Weak spring and dirty contacts on the pack or inside the
2x00 can lead to problems with charging.
The eMate has a battery pack that connect with a plug as you guessed.
In both cases these batteries are getting old and many have failed,
though I still us an original battery pack in my 2x00.
The eMate battery pack is relatively easy to re-cell, compared to the
2x00.
