Hey guys,

I know plenty of posts regarding battery life, but I am curious if this little issue is normal.

This has been a very busy couple of months for work, and I havent had a lot of time to read. I plug the charger in occasionally overnight to keep it charged between readings. A week goes by that I haven't read, and a bar is missing. I do the reset the meter with the charger trick, seems to go to full bars until I open it to read at length, and the one bar goes down and stays down. I fully charge it again. If I hadn't read in a week, the same thing happens after a full charge and a week of non use.

A few weeks ago, I hadn't read at all in 2 weeks prior, and the meter was down 2 bars, which is leading me to believe reading or no reading, the battery will lose charge no matter what. I understand the slow discharge if I hadn't read in a month or 2, but this is only weeks. I also want to note that during long reading and heavy use, I don't lose any bars, this seems to be just a time with or without use issue.

So basically, I am curious if others have experienced this same issue. It seems that heavy reading dosen't move the bars for me, just time. I am looking forward to your responses, thanks.
