have you tried pulling out the batt with the phone on ????
Different charger perhaps ????
Good chance it is a bad battery. I just had it happen with two EBAY "oem" G7 (certainly counterfeits in my Epic). Sprint support said this is indicator of bad battery. It is actually specifically in the manual of the Galaxies. eg see page 8 here: http://www.wirelesszone.com/admin/uploads/11452192014c8f6de50ea6a.pdf
I swapped out to genuine batteries and both worked and both ebay batteries gave me the "battery is not connected."
I doubt it's a bad battery. I was reading through the voodoo lagfix thread and more than a few people got that error after flashing voodoo.
I see two people total out of perhaps hundreds. to me that makes it almost a certainty they have a bad battery. Ebay batteries are proably 1/20 to 1/50 bad and eve stock batteries in the phones probably have a qc problem of 1/1000
I have bought four ebay batteries and two are giving that exact same message on 100% stock phoens.
I also get that message on a brand new fascinate with root. I plugged the phone into my car charger this morning and it worked and it was working at my office...weird...

Me personally, and YMMV, I reflashed (is that the right term?) the voodoo 0.2 lagfix kernel I was using and it seemed to cause the issue to happen *less*.
When it does happen now, it seems to remedy itself if I do a battery pull, power-up, wait until I'm at the homescreen and everything is loaded, then do a power-down/power-up (reboot) - all without being plugged in via USB.
After that, the message seems to go away. Minor nuisance.
I saw in another forum that the 1200 voodoo kernel does not have this issue, I cannot verify this myself though.
Trust me when I say it is a bad battery. I have my fascinate completely stock (virgin), I ordered a battery off of ebay that gives me that message when I plug in my charge cable or sync cable. Doesn't do it with the stock battery
Logic my friends.
You have no clue. If they are stock....maybe its a bad battery. Maybe.
