Re-using a Nokia 5110

I recently tried to breathe life back into a late 90s Nokia 5110 handset. I felt it would be ideal for an elderly relative who can't manage most of the more modern keypads.

It hadn't been used for years, and the battery was completely dead, so I ordered a new one for about £11. All worked fine until I had to charge it, and it won't charge using the original charger - the screen just shows "Not charging - STOP".

Does anyone know if this is likely to be a fault with the charger, or the battery, and if there's any solution?
