If it has a Li based battery, I have heard that if they are deeply discharged, they will show an artificially high charge level right after being pulled off of a charge cycle. I know this is tru of my cell phone. If it dies, it takes a really long time to get a full charge in, however it says full after only a short while, it will completely discharge in a short while.
