Still with a 9 day old reader and typical easy to return warranty only 15 days might be good to return it, buy a new one and start from scratch.

Well I think the people saying not to do it were wrong, on one hand they were saying it's impossible to discharge the battery and on the other telling you not to do it. Like I said in that thread it's even a setting in my laptop and is common practice with battery meters.

The only way to reset the meter without rooting if it's become uncalibrated is to drain it down until the red light shows on the reader and to make it a fully accurate reading you would have to do this half a dozen times the meter should get more accurate with each charge.

I'd say you are fine just wait for the battery warning light before recharging that's the reason it's included after all.
