This is Joseph. Andrew Riden once commented about this, so did I. (I believe it was about a week ago) Go to Support Information Mode and check out the following: 1. Battery Gauge: It should say acurate. On your case, it should say, "Gauge is accurate, error: plus minus 10 percent." If it says that it is inaccurate, you should recalibrate it. 2. Current capacity: When you press c, it'll say something like, "Nominal availib,e charge: 1400." The greater the number ther longer the battery life remaining. If the number drains e.g. decreases faster than normal, you should start monitoring this value frequently. 3. Designed capacity: Normaly the value is 1800. As the battery ages its capacity reduces. If the number is too low, yous houls replace the battery. 4. Capacity inaccurate count: The greater the value the greater the inaccuracy. The number on this setting keep goes up. 5. Charging status: Press s will give you the charging status. I hope this informaiton may help you. P.S. the exact commands are as folows: Gauge accuracy: a Current capacity: c Designed capacity: d Inaccurate count: I Charging status: s

I am conaving trouble with my power status. I have often been getting "battery is critical" messages when the power status reads 80 % or 70 %. Upon reading the battery calibration instructions, it says that callibration should be done with the BN disconnected from the power adaptor but when I do this, the BN says the adaptor needs to be plugged back in for callibration to occur. I tried doing it with the adaptor plugged in and it to emained in the callibration mode for three days without seeming to progress. When I'd finally had enough and took the pub out, exited back to main menu etc., the power status message said it was still at about 87 %. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
