Maybe this is a good time for me to again pass on the 'Important!'
message on the MP2x00 battery pack box:
"Plug in Newton 9W Power Adapter before inserting rechargable battery
pack."
One of the two manuals (yes, there's two of them) that came with the
battery packs also stressed doing things in that order.
I had the same experience with a battery. I put it in the Newt and then
plugged in the Power Adapter. The battery dead message was my reward. I then
RTFM and followed the easy steps. The battery is fine.
The manuals suggest a two-hour charge (without any kind of use ... no
peeking) for a new battery or one that has been stored for a while. Also, it
will take two or three charge/discharge cycles before the battery will hold
a full charge.
