OK, so had the 'Smart Meters' installed on 15th June and I notice that although the IHD is permanently connected to the power outlet the battery indicator is slowly decreasing. presently ay 90%.
I've tried disconnecting everything and on/off etc but no change.
A photo might be useful, if possible. I'll tag in a couple of members who have a lot more experience and knowledge who might be able to help @theunknowntech @retrotecchie.
Part of that is expected. IHDs only have small batteries intended for emergencies i.e. power cuts or reconnecting after running out of PAYG credit. This is the first time I've heard of this issue.
However, IHDL SmartView IHDs are terrible quality and they have far more faults than any other IHD manufacturer I know of. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do and given it's an IHDL product, a warranty replacement isn't worth trying.
To be honest, you'd be better off just getting a Hildebrand Glow IHD and use that instead of the SV3.
Just another guy passing by... The unknown tech way...
Pete is an IHD Tariff Update Robot! 🤖 Anasa is a Giant Enemy Robot Spider 🕷 🤖 Hannah is neither! Need Customer service? click here! Replacement IHD Guide? Here it is!

Thanks for the response. I forgot to say it is a Smart View 3 model. I've reduced the display brightness down to 10% on/off battery. I'll see if that helps.
