Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, whether they've found a fix for it.

A full charge "depleats" much faster than the time it says it will is what it boils down to.

So I guess I'm looking for something the reset the mechanism behind it. (or something)

Thanks so much,

Did you calibrate the battery when you first got the PB or if you just installed panther?

The manual suggests that you calibrate it first, which is running it down until it goes to sleep, and once fully charged should show a fairly accurate reading.

Good Luck
Mike
