Also, I believe that the percentage shown is derived from the voltage of the batteries. After a boot, which involves a fair amount of disk activity, the voltage will be depressed, showing a reduced percentage. When the batteries have recovered the percentage shown will be higher. Also after use, the unit may be warmer, boosting the efficiency of the batteries. Another factor may be that the batteries are making poor contact because of a weak spring or dirty contacts.
