My Isatphone2, when docked, does not seem to hold a full charge.

With the release of the 2.00.03 firmware for the IsatPhone2, users can decide how they want to charge their phone while being in a docking station. 

This firmware includes a feature that will allow end users to set the battery recharge level on the IsatPhone2.  According to Inmarsat, this feature, when enabled, will extend the handset's battery life.  If the IsatPhone2 will be docked for a long period of time, the recharge level is best set at "Permanent docking use", with the recharge level at 20%.  If the IsatPhone2 will be in constant use in and out of the docking station, the recharge level is best set at "Frequent docking use", with the recharge level at 80%.  The IsatPhone2 will only recharge up to 100% when the battery has reached the set level.  

From the main screen of the Isatphone2, scroll to setting till you see the Docking mode option.

When pressing this, there are 2 options; “Off” and “On”.

When selecting “Off”, the restart level for charging is at 96%.

When selecting “On”, there are 2 options:

1. Frequent docking use

2. Permanent docking use

 

For Frequent docking use, the battery recharge level is at around 80%. It means that when the battery level reaching around or lower than 80%, the software will restart the charging of the battery.  So, in this case, if user removes the IsatPhone2 from the charger (or docking), user will see the battery percentage between 80 - 100 %.

 

Similar to the Frequent docking use, for the second option:  Permanent docking use, if user selects this option, the restart charging level is around 20%.  So, in this case, if user removes the IsatPhone2 from the charger (or docking), user will see the battery percentage between 20 - 100 %
