Another experiment....this time on the battery life issue

On my latest replacement (And issues or no, I'm keeping this one! Finally got the new strap!) I found myself staring the infamous battery issue on the face. I have gotten around 13-20 hours typically, depending on use and how much of that time I was spending asleep. (Sleep mode doesn't seem to use much.)

Now, I've run into issues in the past where a device of various kinds would have a battery calibration issue. That is.... it would not display the correct amount of battery percentage. The usual answer to this issue is to charge the device while it is off. Not exactly an option with the band 2.

What I *did* do was start experimenting with soft resetting the device at various battery levels. At 100%, I'd see it reset to 97 or something. One day I ran it entirely down, and reset it, and then it showed me at 56%, when I'd just been at nothing the moment before.

I don't know if anyone else having battery issues wants to play around here, but I figured since I discovered this I may as well start a thread.
