Bought afour AA battery tray I got from ebaythat was all wired up with 
the standard red and black wire coming out of it.

Took the existing wires from the eMate battery pack and tied red wire to 
red wire and black wire to black wire.

Overall it worked. Powered the eMate and I was able to work on it a few 
minutes. However, wouldn't read the battery level correctlyand while I 
was able to power the eMate off at the keyboard switch, it could only be 
turned on by the reset switch.

Am I right in believing there is not any resting current from the wired 
in battery tray to power up from the keyboard power switch? Any ideas on 
how to adjust this so the keyboard power switch can be used?
