Recover full battery capacity

If your tablet is constantly plugged in to an electrical outlet and the battery rarely discharges, the battery may
not be charged to its full capacity even if the battery meter reports 100% charge. You can recover the
battery’s full charging potential simply by discharging and re-charging the battery.

Step 1. Unplug the tablet and use it until the battery charge drops below 20%.

Step 2. Plug in the tablet and charge the battery to 100%.
