Which Clara do you have? I had the Clara HD and continually had battery calibration issues with it. It had poor battery life compared to my previous Kobo H2O. I did occasionally get the battery meter calibrated by letting it run down, then charging for 24 hours, but it was still flakey at times.

It finally died altogether, and I opened it up thinking I'd put in a new SD card and new image to restore it, but decided instead to buy a new Kobo BW. Glad I did, the battery life is what I was used to with my older Kobos. I got a little over four weeks out of the first charge, and many books were read. I'm currently at 62% battery and have been using it for 2 1/2 weeks on this charge.

The Clara HD was a constant annoyance for me regarding the battery issues it had.
