Yesterday I turned it on and it was only one bar short from full. It made sense since the total time it was used was around 20 min max.
Today I took it to the office to show it to my co-worked. I have turned it on and all I got was four short beeps. Reset didn't work. After coming to home (I didn't have the power adapter with me since I was not expecting I was going to need to charge the battery) I connected to the power adapter and it did start. The battery was EMPTY!
Right now it's charging. But I am worried a little bit: it was fully charged 9 days ago and the total usage time was only about 20 minutes. Yesterday it was showing (FULL-1) bar (I just checked and turned it OFF). Today is was EMPTY!
What are your comments - is this normal? I do understand that new batteries need a few full cycles before becoming 'normal', but still... No extreme conditions (temperature, ...).
I will see how it goes and I will update the forum.
Thanks,

I have not yet received the PP (still stuck at custom) but my prs 505 did the same thing once & i realise later on that it was because i had not lock it & the buttons kept pressing themself when in my purse. Not sure if you had lock the unit....
