Hi ED, are you using the same supplier for the Pyra batteries? I ask because the Pandora batteries are so good and I have lots of devices that are let down by the batteries, run time and holding a charge (I've just swapped my Pandora battery for one that has sat in a draw for maybe 12 months and it's at 84%, stunning)

Cheers!

Oh, and how much will extra batteries cost?

The battery meter chip is on the Pandora. The battery itself has no way to measure actual charge amount. What you see is just the battery meter chip "guessing" how much charge the battery has. I would not be so confident about the charge level reported for a newly inserted battery. Takes a while for the meter chip to self calibrate.

That being said, LiPo batteries hold charge rather well when completely disconnected.
 
Well it was a good guess then, I charged it up to a reported 100%, used it for an hour and a bit, games, wifi, usb host and now it's showing 89%, good enough for me.
Try using it down to a low charge level, like 5%. Usually that's when battery meter estimation errors become more evident.
 
That'll be the same Pegatron I remember touring some ARM based laptops back in the day. It was around the time Chromebooks started coming out, so it might have been one of those.

Edit: More of a question than a statement really.
