I left it on wall outlet charge yesterday for 9 hours. I will see if that makes any difference......
Most electronic devices require 3 complete charge/discharge cycles to calibrate the battery. Yet having complied, I found my battery barely lasts a week on full charge and the indicator is very unreliable regardless of care taken when charging. Mine recently went from 62% to 'Please charge your Ereader' in under 12 hours. When I stuck the lead in, I immediately checked the battery level and it claimed it was at 12%. I doubt slinging a dart over your shoulder at a dartboard with percentages on it would be any less accurate.
