Hello all. I have had my Arc for a week and a half and I love it. I have no issue with the battery life, however, the battery indicator doesn't seem to be working properly. I charged my Arc overnight and did not unplug it until the following afternoon. When I started using it, the battery showed 100% and did not move for the next 4 hours even though the wifi was on and I was playing games the whole time. When I clicked on the battery icon and opened the Settings, the battery was still showing 100%. I decided to power it off, then turn it on and sure enough, the battery was at 2% and I had to recharge the Kobo. Today I was using it and the battery was slowly discharging as it used to but then it got down to about 30% and shut down on me.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? What could the problem be? Everything was fine until I left it on the charger for a long period - but does that even matter? Should I exchange it?
Thanks for your help!
