Still getting wacky readings from my battery meter. Going to try calibrating my H2O, on the advice of a couple of other threads in this forum. I found a
good article on calibrating your laptop battery, much of which can probably be applied to calibrating a Kobo. Some excerpts follow.
- Charge your laptop’s battery to full — that’s 100%.
- Let the battery rest for at least two hours, leaving the computer plugged in. This will ensure that the battery is cool and not still hot from the charging process. You’re free to use your computer normally while it’s plugged in.
- Pull the power plug and leave your computer discharging until it automatically sleeps or hibernates. You can keep using your computer normally while this happens.
- Allow your computer to sit for five hours or so after it automatically shuts down.
- Plug your computer back into the outlet and charge it back up to 100%. You can keep using your computer normally.
Kobo forums recommend at least two sequential calibration cycles.
[edit] ...but I haven't seen anyone other than
samhy recommend two full cycles. More like one and a half: charge fully, discharge fully, charge fully again, use normally.
samhy, what is the source of your information?
Battery University has a
good article on battery calibration with more meat than most.
