Thanks elcreative,
I don't actually give it heavy daily usuage - maybe an hour max - and I would be satisfied with 7 to 10 days if I did. I had wondered whether leaving it on charge after the red light goes out would be beneficial so thanks for telling me it is 80% when it does. It was the drop from three sectors to one in two days with only a couple of hours reading I found worrying. The performance with the new battery was great but it has slumped after one charge. Perhaps it's another bad battery as chainring suggests and that's got to be bad luck. BTW how do you know it's nearly 100% after the overnight charge? Is that by way of a meter?
