BUT:
The battery meter NEVER fills to 100% - even after 12 hours of charging it remains 1 bar short of full, and I would like to know WHY that is ???!
This inquiring mind would like to know !

To expand on DaleDe
PC's can also go to sleep
and power down the port.
12 hours is a rule of thumb. NOT a hard limit.
Proper Initial conditioning of the battery AND reader charge circuit is important. If you short cycled the charge cycle with a PC that powered down/pull the plug early, you may have confused the charge meter
My first charge on my PEz took well over 12 hours before the "plug" appeared. It still takes hours to show the plug, even though the reader has all 4 bars showing, it still takes many hours to show the "plug" when connected to a actively used
PC
