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...
