I'm going to chime on on this, because it's been happening to me too. It's mostly a cosmetic flaw, as far as I can tell. It is distracting to see "Calculating..." when the battery is at 100% and isn't charging, so it should say "Plugged In." However, Kevin says he's on a Pismo 500. Jim was on a 400. I'm on a 400. Could there be some teeny-tiny difference between the two? It is a bit disturbing, but not a life-or-death issue...
