Latest cycle: Battery showing about 20%, unit shuts down with "Charge battery" message.

I put it on the 1-amp charger. Battery icon shows fully charged with check mark after 1 hour (can't be right - it takes at least 2.5 hours to do a full charge). Disconnect and wake it up, battery icon immediately shows 90% charge, then sinks to 80% and then 70% as I watch.

So I put it back on the charger for another 90 minutes. It continues to show full battery (battery icon with check mark) the whole time. But this time when I take it off the charger, it stays at 100%.

Come on Kobo, this problem has been there since the beginning. Surely you can do more to fix the battery meter problems!
