Hi Stacey:
Since you are getting readings in the 90's, I wouldn't be overly concerned
about it. If the readings were lower, then that would indicate a problem with
the battery or something. As I've mentioned before, it should be charged after
a couple of hours on the AC charger and 4 hours on USB. So, the thing to watch
for is how many hours is it lasting--you should get about 6, if you're doing a
lot of audio listening and perhaps some what less, if you use wireless.
I have never had these weird readings, but others have reported it, so it's a
known issue. However, as I said, I don't think you have anything to worry
about, unless performance becomes an issue.
