They're really good at replacing a device (when they want to), but don't count on a lot of depth beyond that. I think the USB/PC charging is a slower charge so maybe in an older battery it may make a little difference but if the device controls how fast it charges (and 1.0 A is not THAT high or fast)...??

Recharged my battery over USB connection to computer.
Green led light was off. Battery charged to 76%. Had to unplug/replug to continue the charging session. Green light on again. When done, the battery was charged to 100%.
Performed a sync. Nothing special, just the standard syncing stuff without any book downloads.
Battery levels
After charging/before sync: 100%
After sync: 89%
And disabled the WiFi after the sync.
My default WiFi settings are
WiFi: off (for a resync I need to manually activate WiFi)
Automatic sync: off (not activated)
Kobo notifications: off *
* Note: I activated notifications while syncing the device and switched it off again; no Kobo messages received.
Model: Kobo Touch (N905) old model
FW: 3.01 (644485e229, 11/21/13)
How long does a sync take? In the situation above less than a minute. Or a minute max. Haven't clocked it. Battery drain of 11%. IMO, that's a lot.
