Motorola v3, charging?

While the quality of this picture isn’t so great (taken on a later model of the v3 in a pub by Damien [thank you]), I did find it amusing: apparently it’s charging, but it’s obviously not!
Doing a Google Search for motorola v3 battery problems shows many results. Oh joy - hopefully this won’t be the beginning of more problems.
At the moment it’s been apparently charging all day long (and everytime I want to check the date I have to go to settings - "charging" overwrites it), and the battery still shows 1/3rd. Very frustrating.
Update: I turned the phone off, and charged it without booting the OS, this seemed to fix it. Just resetting the phone didn’t.
