Battery issue

[skypilotpete]

A couple of times recently, not long after recharging my J3, the battery indicator has suddenly dropped down to zero. I turned it off thinking that the battery must have died. When I turned it on again a while later, just to check, the battery indicator was once again showing 100%. My J3 is a couple of years old, so maybe this is the first sign that the battery is on its last legs. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Maybe the battery indicator just has to be re-calibrated. That worked for me when the maximum level it showed was 75%.
In order to do that, let the battery drain completely, and then charge it to 100%.

Yeah me too - last month or so, the battery monitor dropping to zero very quickly after charging, then seems to recover on restart. But I haven't given it a proper run to see if it's genuinely losing charge or not.

hope kizunes fix works for ya, those batteries have roughly a x500 recharge limit before they start losing capacity and dying.

theres a good thread here about possible replacement parts but nobody so far has actually done it or measured the battery dimensions.

My battery went downhill, so I had to replace. In case anyone else in the UK needs it, just to note that amp3.com did a battery replacement very quickly.
