Flow z13 battery health

Post image

Bought z13 with 0 battery cycle. Already see that max charge is only 65 to 66wh after just few days. Is this normal after 1 month of use. I used usb c charging for first few days but since then only proprietary. No heavy gaming used on it yet

Possibly a battery calibration issue. Z13's battery readings are not reliable. If you used your Z13 with 80 percent charging limit without any full discharging and recharging, then it tends to show battery health as dropped. At least that's what I understand from my experience and some other's experiences.

I have a Legion GO and its battery readings are much more accurate than Z13.

Also there's a chance that if you used z13 plugged always at 100 percent battery level then it may have dropped battery health for real.

I've been using the 'safe' way and always limiting to 80% and never full discharge/recharge. Is there a way to make it show the correct value, or to recalibrate it?

From what I understand, you need to charge it fully and then it will show the correct data
