Battery charges slowly

I got my Playdate on September 21. I haven't played it a whole lot, yet, but I've had to charge it quite often.

Yesterday it was down to 10%. I charged it back up to 100%, and this morning it was back down to 24%.

After charging it back up again, I took a look in Settings to ss if there was something there that may explain it. I had Settings open fore about 15 minutes, and when I exited it was back down to 84%.

I don't know if it's a fualty battery, or what the deal is.

I’m noticing a difference with 2.1.1. Immediately saw charge level jump to 96% after updating, when previously it never went past the 80s. I realize it’s essentially just the displayed level and not an actual battery issue, but it is annoying. Hopefully the reading is a little better now. Will update post later, just updated to 2.1.1

I've had battery issues since 2.1.0. Before that I could leave the console on sleep for days. Now I lose 20% charge in a few hours. Battery charge level behaves so erratically that it's hard to get a sense of what is going on. I'll be at 80%, charge for 5 minutes and be back at 100%. Then I'll leave the console on sleep and 10 minutes later I'm back down to 84% or so. It's worth pointing that I have 2 consoles and both have acted the same since update.
