If your reader seems to function as before without any new strange or unexpected behaviour, then I would guess that the electronics hasn't got crazy draining your batteries quicker than normally. The rechargeable battery in your unit is of the Lithium Ione type (I am almost 100% sure of it), and those are said to loose ~20% of their capacity per year whatever you do with them. Even if they are just shelfed at the warehouse. The most straight-forward ought to be to just exchange your battery to a new one. This solution requires one to know how to disassembly the unit + where to get new batteries. But it may likely be cheapier than to buy another used reader with a battery in less than perfect condition (but maybe better than yours anyway). Just my view. Does anyone else have any opinions for or against my suggestion?
