My point is that sometimes if you unplug and replug, the MP or emate
will go from "Charged" to "Battery" and then go back to "charging" for
an additional length of time. The battery is actually getting more
charged then it was when reported as full.

The light on the emate and the indicator on the MP screen are very
useful, but not definitive...
