I did not mention anything about the device's design.
Only that the behavior you observed is not that intended.
The production process used is very capable of turning out a bad or broken device.
So I stand by my answer: tell Amazon before your warranty runs out.
I read things that seem strange in your reasoning -
1) Battery run-time under the conditions you describe:
You say it isn't any different than what you have read about the subject.
Yet you did not come to question that affect on the battery life-time until now, when you own one yourself.
How do you know that the battery life-time will be shortened by the behavior you describe?
The devices have not been produced, in-use by owners, and reported on long enough yet for anybody to reach any conclusions.
2) How do you know the device is working normally when you at length describe a device that is not?
= = = =
If you are concerned about the life-time of the battery under the conditions you describe;
that is: Less than the length of time you want to continue using the device - -
Then you really should consider trading it in on another model, one that does not have the battery glued into the device.
Which is any model other than the one you have and a K4.
Another reason to report the behavior to Amazon, claiming you think it is not correct (or at least not as advertised by Amazon) and want to exchange it.
Do it now, while you still have that option.
