[NTLK] Newton battery questions

Okay. Being as I am new to the Messagepad 2000 and its vagaries, I have
some questions about mine that will probably sound stupid, but oh well.
:-)
 
1) I'm assuming the battery charges when plugged in while the pad
is powered off, but am I wrong in this?
 
2) How long should a battery typically take to charge in the
MP2000? It seems like I plug mine in and 10 minutes or so later it's
done charging. And the battery meter on Avi's Backdrop seems to climb
like a rocket when it's plugged in. I thought these sort of batteries
would take much more time to charge up. It would be NICE if it only
took a few minutes to charge, but I'm not going to assume anything of
the sort. Does this mean that my battery is screwy? Last time I charged
it it lasted a very long time on battery.
 
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
 
Michael Mays
