Re: My Omnia experience (so far)

I have been doing a little reading on Lithium Ion batteries. I found this statement about charge cycles and fuel gauges. I understand many may not have hit the 30 mark yet but may still be encountering the problem. Just a thought.

"Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely"
