Aura H2O2 Battery woes

Elektron · 09-29-2020, 12:13 PM

I haven't been reading much for the last couple days. My eReader was at 18% so I powered it off for a couple of days and when I turned it back on, it was at 28%.
What?
And after 10 minutes of Unblocking It, it gave me a 10% warning. What the *Beeeeeep* is goin' on here?!
I'll try charging it to 100% and see what happens.

i would charge to 100% and see how it goes, do you keep wifi on? wht level do you have the light on?

0% light and wifi on standby, only use browser about 30 mins a day and barely need to sync. And sleep for 8 hours eats up 20% battery.

i have my light on 8% and wifi off read about 2 - 3 hours a day and battery lasts weeks. i would suggest you charge and discharge a couple of times to 'train the battery or retrian

fingers crossed xx

Just put on charge. After a while, it said "Charged: 64%". WHAT THE HECK?

How are you training it? Maybe best to get it a gym membership?

Do a factory reset to eliminate the posibility of any faulty books loading your cpu, and see if the issue persists. Dont trust the percentage as sometimes it might not show the actual charge, see if it actually turns off in short ammount of time.
If it does, time to change the battery. Or get a new device if you cant do the change yourself, as depending where in the world you are it might not be worth the cost taking it to a repair shop.
