m130 Slow Battery Display

[rhkirk]

I have had my m130 for about a month. After it has been charging for a while I'll take it out and the battery display will slowly move up to full. When I check the battery display on fileEz it does the same thing, slowly moving up to 100%. I used to have a Clie 320 and it would instantly show the charge. Also it seems to take mine a little longer to charge than some of the threads I have read. Any help?

My wife's m500 does the same thing. (My Prism updates right away.) I figure it is some kind of quirk in the system, and charge hers up overnight (just to be sure). Li-Ion batteries need to be charged an extra hour or so after they read 100% anyway.

Also, 100% on an m130 seems to be set at 4.20V, while 100% is 4.12V on a Prism. That may be slowing things down, too. Takes longer to charge to a higher voltage. At least the charger is smart enough to shut down when the battery is full.

The battery display on my m130 shows full as soon as I remove it from the cradle after leaving it to charge. I use Batmon to moniter the level while it is charging and leave it for about one hour after it reaches 100%. During that hour the level fluctuates between about 96 and 100%.
