I noticed this a few hours ago. When I launched the app I noticed Yarbo at 94% and charging. It has not been used in 2 weeks. After a few hours it is at 96% and charging still. Just got a replacement battery 2 weeks ago and have done just a few hours of run. Any ideas? Not sure how long this has been going on but I looked about a week ago and it was at 100% and in the maintenance charge state.
Strange that it would need a recalibration so soon. However, the unplug for 4 hours trick would probably resolve it, at least for now.
That was my concern. I will open yet another ticket.

What is the temperature at your place? I noticed when it was cold here mine would cycle between 90 and 94 which the battery heater cycling on and off. It never got passed 94 and I would get the battery warming charge delay message regularly.
That doesn’t sound right either @Lives - at least from what I have experienced so far. When it was staying at 100% we had nice short wearing weather at negative 10 or so. I never got that type of alert you mentioned and didn’t notice the battery below 100. I do have the auger anti-freeze turned on, not sure that matters. Yesterday was above freezing most of the day; when I reported this here it was around 35, so I don’t think I am seeing what you described. I would question however what you are experiencing. While I was told the battery calibration issue is extremely rare it certainly seems to be a more common item here and other places. I now have two that have experienced this; seems like a bigger issue that a reboot is not going to kick the can on. In my experience the battery only gets worse and then they will finally replace it.
I did open a ticket and got the same two copy/paste responses. Do as @bryan.wheeler suggested and the same dance I had done before with unplugging the battery. I pushed back and said the battery is two weeks old and used all of a couple of hours and now we are “at senior engineers” aka China.
It would be a true Christmas Miracle if this would work just once without issues. @Yarbo-Forum - maybe the Santa sleigh icon in your app could deliver that yet this year?

Hmm ok. We were down to -30 or so when I was seeing that. Didn’t run it when it was that cold but it was resting outside. Now that we are back to a civilized temperature it is back to 100%. Will be interesting to see what they have to say. Was just a thought. I would stay with what Bryan says. He would never steer you wrong. 
I will be watching for an update.

I was checking the app on the battery status like you did, strange enough that my Yarbo battery is also 94%. Maybe this is the magic number. Yarbo has been sitting in the garage for few days.I will try to unplug it for few hours and see. This is the second time it is happening.
4 hours battery unplugged is best.
Will do. Thanks Bryan
Bryan’s advice is spot on. I had the same issue about a week ago. Unplugging for 4 hours did the trick.

Maybe I am not expressing this correctly. The battery is 2 weeks old and already needs to be calibrated? This is normal? Everyone is unplugging the battery every week to give it a 4 hour break? What’s next, this thing needs a bottel of bourbon every couple of days to keep itself warm at night?
Yeah your situation doesn’t make sense to me. Has to be a software glitch of some kind.
I unplugged it for over 6 hours and plugged it again and confirmed plugged over night. Checked it again this morning and the status still at 92%. Any suggestions? Should I unplug again?
It may need a little while to charge back up. If it doesn’t correct itself in a few hours, I’d open a ticket.

I will give it sometime today and see. Thanks

Checked again now and it looks like the battery is draining, not charging down to 90% from this morning and
after the unplug process and kept charging overnight. I will try again to unplug and see what happens tomorrow
The other step I’ve heard is to take it off the dock and connect the wired charger for a few hours and then unplug it for 4 hours. Doubt this changes anything, but if you’re up to try it and it works…
it is already on wired charger for the past few days. but I already unplugged it again an hour ago. Will give it over 5 hours rest. How about removing the battery if it does not work. Has anyone done it successfully?
Are you unplugging the charger or the battery cable to the core? You definitely have to unplug the battery cable for the 4 hour trick to work. You don’t need to pull the battery out, just unplug the cable from it. I hear shutdown of the core works also, but I know unplug the cable works, or should work.
