Recharging the Battery

shirleyellenp · 01-04-2010, 12:04 PM

At what level of depletion should the Sony 600 be recharged? Mine is fairly new, but I've keeping it topped up, not letting it go down more than 2 bars before recharging. Would it be better for the battery life to let it go down farther? I'm also wondering if anyone has had to buy a new battery for their reader yet?

It doesn't matter either way. Lithium Ion batteries, such as the Reader uses, don't mind being "topped up". What you shouldn't do is leave your Reader for several months without charge, such that the battery totally discharges; that can damage the battery.
