I've seen a few threads about rapid battery drain on the Clara HD, but I've experienced a problem of late I can't figure out.

Some days, the charge will go from about 95% to 9% in a matter of hours. But on top of that, when there has been this extreme rapid drop in battery life, I'll see that the time is off by few hours.

Yes, I have a sleep cover. I can confirm that it is asleep (the light is off) and the WiFi is off as well.

The book I'm reading a small EPUB (converted to KEPUB) with no graphics or images.

Tonight I looked at the device at around 8pm - it was at 95% charge. I closed the cover, it slept, and at 2am it was down to 9% and the time had shifted by +2 hours.

Any thoughts? This is very frustrating as you can imagine.
Sounds like your battery is failing.
