As the title states, my battery says Full, but at 97%. I have tried doing a batman/bat-recover on it, which didn't seem to help. I believe it's a NiMh battery, but not sure how to tell. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to maybe fix it? Running firmware Q2D07 I believe, and image 656.

Thanks,

Lee

As far as I know this is normal. I have never seen a charge over 97% on either of my XOs. If the machine works normally, I wouldn't worry about it.

This is normal. Two XO's and 3 batteries are all like this.

Ok, thanks for the info, that's good to know. I guess I'll stop banging my head against it then

Does the xo run off the wall if its plugged in or does it run off the batt and constantly keep the battery charged? That could explain the 97% and eliminate some stuff on the board for space.
