I was told it was the software that caused the battery problem. I don't see
how that could be unless the early units went out with a lower build
number. Mine should be back tomorrow, so we'll see.
I would have thought it would have been a board issue as well.

Well I just though I should put my two sence in. I had to send my unit in
now three times before they figured out that it was the mother boarsd. So
It is on its way back to california as I respond. I ha the same problem
with my battery and so when I get it back It is going to have the new
motherboard if I remember. I just hope it aklkl goes well over there.

Jean. You really should get at least ten before you get a battery low
message.
If your unit is dying at 27 percent, something is wrong. Of course, you
could try calibrating the battery to see if this fixes the problem, but
you shouldn't have to calibrate a new battery. They are supposed to be
calibrated before they leave the factory.
I'd be talking to humanware on this one. Twenty-seven percent doesn't
seem right.
After writing this, however, I also need to say one more thing. If you
are using anything like a wireless card, the internal modem, bluetooth or
the USB ports, it won't be that odd to have the unit go flat at 27
percent. What you want to do is to charge the unit all the way up to 100
percent. Then just read, or type, or edit. Whatever. Just don't use any
devices that draw power. See if you then get to ten percent before you
get the battery low message.
If you do, everything is fine. Using wireless does drain the unit pretty
quickly and you might get the warning at 27 percent or even higher,
depending on how much you used your wireless card and for how long.
But if you are playing with wireless, etc, 27 percent sounds reasonable.
