It should have spent only 20% of its charge on the Sage; where did the rest go? No idea.
Um, isn't the Sage 1500 mAH and cover 1000 mAH? Then factor in about 80% efficiency charging (the cell in the cover drives a step-up inverter from 3.2-4.7 V to 5V and the charging circuit converts 5V to feed a limited current to the internal cell).

It does use cover power rather than internal till the cover is exhausted. I have solar charged power banks and the Sage also charges up maybe x5 to x8 faster than my Kindle PW3.
