Yesterday my LIBRE battery showed 2 of 3 parts black/holding a charge, and that was immediately after charging (with the Power Adaptor). I have to admit, I probably didn't charge it long enough--only an hour. ----Soon after that I decided to do it much longer and charged it (with the Power Adaptor) for a full four hours, and then the charging screen showed something I'd never seen before: the whole battery icon (all 3 parts) solid black, with *no animated 1,2,3 movement. (The Settings/ Battery showed full 100%, but it had shown that way before, with an incomplete period of charging.)

[I'm not sure why people mention that file format seems to affect how the battery holds a charge or shows it.]

Also, I wonder if I might have crippled my battery by not charging it long enough when I first took it out of the package. Any one know?
