Battery Problems -- Not Charging Fully?

bamelin · 05-11-2010, 10:04 AM

Hello all,

I've been noticing that when charging my Kobo the red light that indicates fully charged turns on early (maybe after an hour of charging from empty). When I check though the battery indicator is not fully charged. So I have to unplug and replug it back into my PC.

This isn't normal I'm assuming, would it be a problem with the battery not being properly calibrated?

Not sure what to do. I only seem to be getting about 1000 pages before i have to charge again.

edit: just noticed the other battery thread ... so yeah, basically same problem as outlined int hat thread

From what I understand each book or chapter load involves retrieving the text from the sqlite database and unzipping it. I suspect that uses more battery than page turns.
