Clara battery dies at 46%
Hi there,
My Clara HD runs out of battery at 46%. Without warning, when the battery level gets to 46% the device immediately turns off. I am unable to turn it back on or reset it. If I connect the power cable, the device comes back on after a minute or two. If the battery level then says, for example, 48%, once it gets to 46% it will shut off again. My Clara HD is 3 years old. Software 4.38 (up to date) Does the mean the battery needs replacing? 3 years seems like a short lifetime for a device battery, is this normal? |

How often does this happen? Kobo has notoriously inaccurate battery meters. If the device shuts off and then says 48% the moment you plug it in, the meter is definitely not calibrated properly. Charge it for a few hours and see if the meter drops properly when you start from 100% full.

I cant say how often, really its just started but I do remember finding it had gone dead at other times when there seemed to be plenty charge. It could well be the metre as you say.
Ill give what you suggest a try & report back. |
