UHM. My cover is on its way, so I guess I'll have to be super-attentive on that too... thanks!

The manual actually does say to completely discharge and charge the new battery several times (through several cycles) and then it will reach its peak performance.
We have two cats. The one pictured in my avatar is bad about walking on or lying on electronics, so she might have been a contributing factor.
