Using B&N numbers you should see about 2-4% drop for every hour of reading, remember the power meter is in theory only accurate to 1%, and will round up or down to the nearest number. bernie Last edited by gbm; 04-23-2012 at 01:03 PM. Reason: spelling |

So it seems that I have a non-faulty nook. That's awesome. I'm curious how much the first charge it will last given that it lost 20% since Friday night until Monday night. But, as you said, it's a new battery and it needs its charges.
Again, thank you guys for being patient with me. |

Hi guys. Just an update and a question as well. My Nook is now at 68% and it's been a week since I first charged it.
Q: Should I let the battery drop below 30% or 20% before I charge it? Last edited by AlexGrama; 04-27-2012 at 03:57 AM. |

Unless you susupect the battery meter is inaccurate and needs calibrating I would say it's time to charge now. No need to wait. You'll keep your battery healthy if you charge it when it comes down to around 70%.
Avoid deep discharge except maybe a couple of time/year (if that) to recalibrate you battery meter. Last edited by Asawi; 04-27-2012 at 03:17 AM. |

I hope that the next charge will last longer and won't get to 68% after just one week. |

Personally I would let it get down to about 20% before charging at least the first time. I'd do it just to make sure that suddenly the battery didn't die a day after it hit 68% or something like that. Right now I tend to charge mine about every 2-3 weeks, which means it gets down around roughly 50% charge before I charge mine. Not for any real strong reason other than I guess in part because then it only take a bit over an hour to charge with the wall adapter instead of closer to 3 hours.
Personal experience, with the 75-90 minutes a day I normally read, I tend to go through about 20% battery charger per week give or take a couple of percent. Of course if you read more than that, or read with a larger font, and thus have to turn pages faster or have wifi on some of the time, etc you'd deffinitely go through the batter faster. |

Myself, I wait till it gets to below 30%, never below 25%. That gives me about a month of reading between charges. |

I find the battery meter software can be a little glitchy.
The battery icon/symbol doesn't always correspond very well. (What looks like 1/2 full can be anywhere from 75% down to 35%.) The calibration can be thrown way off, especially if the battery has discharged down to where the unit turns off. For now, I've pretty much determined that any problems I've been having with battery life are software related, not actually battery related. On the whole, I get pretty much what the spec is. Just the annoying random glitch every few months. |
