I was using the device normally from 8:04 to 8:21, you know, debugging the script, looking up linux commands on the web, etc. Then at 8:22 I went into offline mode, locked touchscreen and keys, and went and took a shower. 8:37 I checked what had happened when I was gone. Wow. I had no idea bettery levels were so unstable. This is something to work with, though.
