I was referring to the Astak firmware. To my recollection, the one it came with, and certainly the next one I loaded, had everyone complaining about short battery life. Then a version came along that everyone agreed solved the battery issue. Now, this firmware has been re-called, but it seems battery life issues, of some type, were apparent. Astak have not told us exactly why they recalled it, i.e. which were the show-stopper issues, but maybe this was one of them.

Plus ALL versions have poor battery meters. If it's not a basic sensor (i.e. hardware) fault, then the software needs to be improved to correctly and linearly indicate battery levels.

I note what you said about the driver and the 25% levels - but I ask you - who would write a driver that does that? It may be an explanation, but it is no excuse
