Is anyone else having battery issues with their new DR1000S? I am.

The battery initially fully charged and I could see it as full by the icon. However, since I turned it on today, the light at the top has stayed orange and the battery icon only shows about 2/3 full. I unplugged it and replugged in it. It stayed the same.

Later, I turned it off, then after awhile turned it back on. For about 6 hours or more the light remained orange and the battery icon did not change.

I then tried removing the SD card and shutting the DR1000S down. Later I put in a new (formatted and unzipped Companion contents) after starting the Reader up. Everything is fine EXCEPT the charging light at the top remains orange and the icon only shows 2/3 full.

The light has stayed orange for the last 11 hours.

What seems to be the matter?
