Uhhhmmm, I'm not sure. You mean you had it sleeping, and switched it on in the mornig, checked, put it back to sleep, and did the same in evening right? No off-mode. So two checks in 24 hours. I think it might be worth checking more regularly, to prevent it sleeping >12 (10?) hours in one go. As davidfor mentioned there *might* be something going on after a certain amount of hours sleep. So say, have it sleeping, check in the morning, midday and just before you go to bed, at least?
Having said that, I thought I was getting better battery life doing that. However, my Glo dropped to 0% (Please charge...) last night, giving me only 109 hours (4.5 days) of use from 100% to 0%
I did see a difference this time when I plugged it in though. I made sure I started it up from "Please charge..." to completely empty the battery. I was able to turn it on four (!!) times, so there must still have been a lot of battery reserve left. And when I plugged it in, the percent was actually at 1%, like it should be, instead of 11% or 33% right away like I saw with my first Glo. So. Although I have bad results right now, I'm still hopeful this battery is better than my last... though, actually, 4.5 days... pff that's ridiculous.
