I find if I leave my speech at a fast rate and I turn the volume down to its lowest level, it is merely babble to me. My battery wasn't on full charge when I started the process and I think it was at 23 percent but I have been using my unit rather heavily anyway so I'd say I got the battery calibrated. My unit says the gage is accurate! I think the best way to keep a good calibration is to use your unit heavily if possible. This isn't hard to do when using a wireless card.
