Now I get an orange light when it is in the charger as well. It also
discharges quickly. Is there anything to be done about this? Also,
my Newt normally restarts when I give it a new set of batteries. It
doesn't when I put in the rechargable pack. Now the bar indicating
battery level just shot from about thirty percent to full! Can this
be trusted?
