Angry Expected Battery Life

Using the Kobo Glo HD, and having some concerns with battery life. Last line of post is most useful.

Purchased and been using the device since August 2015. When I first charged and used it the battery life was exceptionally good. Held a good charge when reading some hours a day for ~3 weeks time.

The settings used were backlight on 0%, wifi off, sleep after 5 minutes, no screen saver no power off. 3.18.0 Firmware.

After charging it for the second time things were considerably different. I maintained settings but the battery drain was exceptionally faster. Now, after reading a few hours the battery is as expected changing 1-3%. Then, placing the device into sleep while not in use. If I return to the device within 12 hours the battery life seems to be good.

However, if I leave the device in Sleep mode for any period of time > 24 hours I see very large battery drain of 30-50% between uses.
