Has anyone ever seen the IMPRES battery fuel gauge on a 5K last for more than the 7 days that it's rated for?

I have a 5K Mod 3 over here with 8.00.10 firm, and a very recent 9862 IMPRES battery on it that has not seen a charger in about a month. The radio still displays a fuel gauge.. When I take that battery and place it on another 5K with 8.00.00 firm, it wont display the gauge, indicating that it hasn't seen a charger in a while.

I'm not complaining, I wish the fuel gauge would stay on all the time on my other 5K's. Any thoughts as to why it's not loosing it's gauge after 7 days??

The CPS tuner has a battery calibration soft pot which may be worth looking at that setting. We here also had problems with the battery gauge not showing at all on some xts5.k - due to the battery not charged a certain way or in an impress charger.
