So if I could triple the number of cycles, that would be nice, because as it is, in a year or so I could have to charge it every two days, etc.

That way, I rarely get more than 10-15 hours of reading, and since I read A LOT, it's not much more than 3 days without a charge. I read with backlight on from 70 to 95% all the time, because it hurts my eyes if it is too dark. I don't remember where I've read this, but charging 20 to 80% could triple the number of cycles from a "normal" 0 to 100% charge. But, will the hassle of it actually be worth it? Will the fact you a will only be able to you 60% of the battery runtime be worth it? And then needing to charge the battery twice as often and remembering to watch it to not charge it to much.Īnd here's the thing, what exactly are you saving the battery life for? From reports here, and my experience, the battery is lasting long enough to get to the point replacing the device is attractive. Yes, doing that will extend the overall life of the battery. Have a look at the other threads for some ideas. To be able to diagnose, we need more details. There are issues triggered by badly constructed books that can cause high battery usage even after closing the book. But, it depends on things like was WiFi on, the light level, any syncs done, what sort of things you read, how fast you turn the page, what else the device was doing. There have been a few recent threads that you can refer to. The battery usage depends on a lot of things. That will have used power, depending on how long, what and how fast a reader you are. Plus, there appears to have been some reading. Then it dropped to 54% over the next how long? The "today" doesn't tell me how long between looking at the battery level other than implying at least a day. It dropped from about 80% to 64% with the cover closed over a couple of hours. And the discharge rate isn't necessarily linear.

The usual recommendation to do that is a couple of full charge/discharge cycles. The top level won't necessarily match 100% and the bottom 0%. One issue with not using the full charge/discharge is that the fuel gauge won't be calibrated properly. A couple of hours later, when going back to read, last time I saw battery back to 64% (16% lost with no reason) and today it was back to 54% (26% lost!). I charge it to about 80%, then get it off the USB plug, and let there on sleep. I've noticed something strange when doing this (I only did it twice so far).
