What kind of battery does the Plextalk Pocket player have in it? Are you able to use a different charger and get more than 26% charge on your Plextalk Pocket? If it's a lithium ion battery and it runs for quite a while on a 26% charge then the charge sensor may need a recalibration. Try letting it run all the way down and then giving it a complete charge and see if that doesn't have it reporting a 100% battery charge.

It looks like a normal usb-charger, but has a batery inside it. The practical thing, you charge your device via usb and also the batery at the same time. The disadvantage is that I am not able to fully charge my plextalk pocket player only up to 26 per cent or so. That lasts me quite a while, to be fair, but it wasn't quite what I'd expected. Maybe it's worth looking round a bit to find a better charger. I'm not quite sure what I've got, but can ask a sighted person, if you're interested.
