So i hook my PB up to the charging cable and put it to sleep before I go to bed. I wake up every morning and it shows 99% charge while still plugged in. Anyone else seeing this issue?
This happens to a lot of people and there have been several other threads about it. But as DC said, I think RIM is working on fixing it. Mine almost always goes to 100% but there are some random times it goes to 97-99% and maxes out. I usually restart it and after that it charges to 100%.
I read a post on here from someone who said that dont place too much emphasis on the battery meter as it doesnt report correctlty ie the other night my battery meter was saying 0% but yet for a good 20mins or so i still used it...was pretty perplexed by that so i think the battery meter on the pb isnt reporting the battery level correctly.

I'm almost positive it doesn't report it correctly. I experienced somewhat the same thing, except I stay on 0% for a good hour or so. It drained really quickly besides that, about a 1% every 5 minutes or so. It was very odd. Hopefully RIM fixes this issue in the next update, which hopefully comes this week.
The other night I wanted to see just how long the battery would last once it reached "0%". I ran it for another 40 minutes while watching HD videos and still it kept going until I chickened out and plugged the charger in. The charge indicator shows approximate level only with plenty of "reserve" life left once the level indicated reaches zero. My PB easily goes 8-12+ gours on on a full charge.
