I have two cameras that I’ve installed 1.5 months ago. One gets significantly more usage than the other. That camera has had its battery discharged to 1% about a week ago; however, it continues to function. Given its rate of discharge, it should be dead by now but it continues to function. The other camera has discharged to around 50% after the same 1.5 months of run time. I was expecting a difference in discharge rate between the two cameras, but not this significant. I’m questioning the accuracy of the battery level on the camera that is showing 1% but still functioning normally. This will be its first charge/discharge cycle so I’m not sure if there are battery conditioning issues that might be occurring here.

I suspect it's a display issue. Reboot the base and reinsert the camera battery to see if the display changes.

As a PS... do not let the batteries got totally flat.

If you do there may be an issue with starting a recharge cycle
