I had the same problem. I was in a rush and did not want to return the device, so I bought a replacement unit. That fixed it.

But I also noticed, even with the replacement battery, that the reading is often incorrect. At times, the battery level will drop pretty fast - if I shut down (true shut down, not sleep mode) the device and turn it back on, the battery life goes back to full.

Happens both with the 900 and the 950 I now have.

So I think there are at least two separate problems there. One, some batteries are clearly defective. Two, even if you have a good battery, sometimes the battery level indicator is inaccurate.
