760 'Low Battery' Question

I leave my Nuvi plugged in all the time in my car. So it's always getting charged. Three times now I've received a 'low battery' warning. Twice when I have shut the car off and AFTER I get the message to power off or not. Once when I removed it from the mounting to enter some information.
How can the battery be low when it's constantly charging? Is that the problem? Do I need to run the battery down and then recharge it completely?
To add to the mystery, when I go to the menu screen, the battery shows fully charged and green!
Nuvi 750 Battery order
I will not recommend any vendor on Ebay. You take your chances when purchasing from Ebay or any other vendor on the web. I much prefer to deal with sites like CraigW mentioned above since I feel they have more to lose.
In fact, I loaned my 750 out to my daughter one month ago and got it back with a battery that would not hold a charge. I ordered a new battery (with tools) from SMAVtronics ($15.99 battery and $6.87 shipping) this morning. Shipping can be cheaper if you want to wait for 6 to 8 days.
I don't know how this will work out, but will update if needed after the fact.
