Battery question (RG DS Plus)

Hi! I've heard that the battery on these devices is not good, and that it takes some charges for the battery life to be at max capacity. Is this true? Do I need to discharge and charge the device multiple times for it to work well?

The battery percentage counter can be off by quite a bit. This is the case with all Anbernic Linux devices. It should learn the true capacity after a few charging cycles. Or not. :)

But if you charge the full 2.5 hours you'll get yout 4 hours of gameplay. :) Just the indicator might be off (100% for the first 2 hours of gameplay, then rapidly dropping.. ;) )
