That's quite common with devics powered with rechargeable batteries --
the charger on its own can't supply enough current to run the device.
Assuming the battery pack is just a battery (that is, no 'battery
management' circuitry), you can often run the unit from a bench power
supply connected to the battery wires _with the battery disconnected_. Of
course this assuems you have a suitable PSU...

The only reason batteries are needed to run the
NLS is the charger is way
too small run run it directly.
I found THAT out the hard way.
When I sold my NLS215 at VCF, I had to sell it "AS-IS" because the
batteries wouldn't take a charge.
