Hi fellow Kobo readers,

My trusty, beautiful H2O must be getting on for two years old soon. It never goes long without me using it, and I try not to let the battery get much below 50% most of the time (though I did a couple of fuller discharge cycles when I first got it).

Lately that drop to around the halfway mark has been occurring more quickly, which is to be expected I guess. I've just had it charging from the wall for an hour or two, and it's stopped charging and is showing "full" with the little tick, but the battery meter only reads 96%. All normal and expected signs of ageing? (Heck, I'm around halfway through my expected lifespan too, I wish I felt 96%...)
