90% max battery on new XV6800??

[wackychimp]

I'm running VistaHide Battery Gauge on a 3 day old XV6800. Both this and the Windows power meter show the battery at 90% even after a full night of charging.

Normal? Or should I go get them to give me a new battery?

(I just want to have done my research before the Verizon rep tries to spin some BS on me )

The battery indicator is not very accurate. It measures in increments of 10%. If it's at 99% it will read 90%. For a more accurate reading search the forum for no2chem's 1% increment battery indicator.

Yeah, normal, sometimes it will stay at 100% for a while, sometimes will drop to 90% almost instantly after coming off the charger....

The battery meter is not accurate and this is the case with most/all liion devices, even the 1% battery meter will show big fluctuations. It is not unusual to have my device say 40% power then I soft reset and it will say 70% etc.
