Rosemary: A short answer to your question goes like this, no guarantees about the sense it makes though. When rechargable batteries are discharged, then recharged, a small amount of degradation occurs. The gauge which measures power, doesn't necessarily track this degradation. Therefore, recalibrating the gauge, allows for accurate measurement of battery life, etc. If you have never calibrated the battery, more than likely you will see great improvement after doing so. Before sending the unit in, or even thinking of it, recalibrate & see what results are available.
