Hi

I use a Kobo Glo. (Nickel 2.8.1. and latest Koreader).

mini-bar battery test

This morning I had a little test:
on Koreader my mini-bar battery reported a 97% level.
I put it to charge (wall charger) during over one hour: the battery report stayed stuck to 97%.
I unplugged, used a little Koreader. Still 97%.
(From there a casual user may think the battery has not been charged and may start Nickel).

Only when I rebooted Koreader did I get a fresh battery report: 100%.

What I take from this:
- one can charge directly its battery with Koreader
- he will get information on the real (I mean new and updated) battery status after rebooting Koreader.
During a Koreader session, the mini-bar seems to notice and report instantly only battery decreases but not increases (at least when they come from a wall charger).

This behaviour could be improved.

Note: I will also test KSM refresh a.s.a.p.
