If it is an overly flat battery then it may be that the life of the battery has been shortened, but by how much, and how annoying it will be, are for the future.
The battery dropped to 70% all of a sudden. I'm not liking this. They want my old Kobo returned, but I'm not going to rush returning it until I'm satisfied this thing works.

The rev is a different from my old one FYI. The firmware seems older, menus seem different.
