Battery life

Since I use Calibre, I'm not worried about getting TrekStor's eReader Suite installed. But I am concerned about my new Mini having given me a low battery warning twice now, in less than a week of initial use. The first time I thought it was because I hadn't charged it fully, but it did it again yesterday after fully charging it two days earlier and only using it about 10 minutes since charging.

After the first warning, I went into the power settings and disabled autoshutdown and set the go to sleep time at 15 minutes.
I didn't think having it on standby (rather than off) would drain the battery much.
I recharged it yesterday and re-enabled the autoshutdown, setting it at an hour. I'll see how it does this week. My Sony PRS-350, Kobo Mini, and Nook STR all had long battery life right out of their boxes, and they will all go several weeks before getting low.


Battery Update 4 March 2013 Since changing the power settings to have the Mini Standy after 5 minutes and Shutdown after 1 hour, my Mini seems to be holding a charge well. I recharged it seven days ago and it stills shows a full battery after some light reading each day.
