Jason,
When charging the battery and if it was plugged in for two hours and still
not a hundred percent, unplug your charger and plug it back in again. It
should get back up to a hundred percent within another hour. I do this
often.

Subject: [Braillenote] Inaccurate charge info
I'm having serious issues with my BN Mpower keeping an accurate percentage
count on my battery lately. For example, I was busy typing up a document
today. I paused for a moment to check my battery charge status, and my BN
claimed there was 13% remaining. Less then five minutes later though, it
announced battery low. But by the time I could get my BN plugged in (barely
10 seconds after the first battery low announcement), my BN had turned
itself off. Once Keysoft 7.2 restarted, I hurried up and removed all cards
from my BN and turned it off to more quickly charge. When I returned 3 hours
later and checked the battery gauge, my BN reported 80% charged, but when I
went to support information mode and checked charge status, it replied
trickle charging. I checked the gauge accuracy, and it came back with
accurate, plus or minus 2 percent. So I turned it back off and left it to
charge for another hour, before I came back and rechecked all these stats.
None had changed, so I decided to try a recalibration of the battery. But
when I came back another hour later and hit spacebar to see how far in the
recalibration process it'd reached, I was told that it was still charging
the battery. What in the world is going on here, and how do I straighten out
this problem?
Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
