Touch HD3 Battery Life — Very Good

I was charging some of my eReaders and realized that I've only charged my Touch HD3 once since I got it in January 25th (and it wasn't fully charged when I got it). And it's currently at 81% battery capacity (admittedly I haven't read much in the last three weeks — and the book I did read was on my Voyage) but, still, that's pretty impressive. The PB615 goes for months without a charge (no built-in WiFi) — this seems to be one of the places where PocketBook really gets it right, battery life.

I agree, I think the battery life is excellent ... I estimate I can go 40 days on one full charge before it goes dead (1 hr reading per day). Right now I'm charging it when it hits 40%, and disconnecting it from the charger at 80%, so I end up doing that maybe twice a month.

Just curious, is there a reason you don't charge to a 100%?

And, in the four days since I started this thread my HD3 has dropped to 80% battery capacity (and I even did some reading on it).

Keeping rechargeable batteries between 40%-80% supposedly extends their lives: https://old.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/co..._rule/dedku5h/ & https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/...ased_batteries
