I cycled the battery three times over the weekend (once a day).
3h 36m r - Out of the Box Reading
6h 00m r - after cycle #1
4h 18m r - after cycle #2
3h 46m r - after cycle #3

...I dont dont how accurate is it, but at least it's behaving better ;-)

Wild readings. I still can't get mine to break 1 hr 49. I'm going to ignore the time and use the % reading as that does seem to be okay. I think that Bat Packs minuntes have a sliding scale depending of between 30 and 600000 seconds depending on the phase of the moon, sun spot activity and whether the day has a Y in it!!

Ho Hum

Mine's been stuck on 1h 58m for about 3 hours now. I guess that Battery Pack managed to stretch time.

Oh, I see now. I'm going to wait a week or so to see if there's any change/improvement (without holding my breath!!). If not I'll try the uninstall/reinstall route although I fail to see how or why it should work better then. I'm sure someone will have the answer if only to post V5.0.4!

If previous versions calculated erroneous times, not clearing the user settings would allow the past bad calculations to affect the newer version. Also the saved data structure could change which may affect a newer version.

As I said before, mine shouldn't be showing these symptoms as this is my first and only load.

Never happier than when I'm moaning!!
