PSA- K18 / K8 Round / K8 Mini / K9 / D5 battery overcharging (do not ignore)

I need as many folks as possible to do the following

1. Install Battery Monitor Widget
2. Place the watch on a flame proof surface
3. Open the app and connect the watch to a charger
4. Leave it alone for a couple hours then check the battery mv
5. Post what watch you have and the battery mv

Li-Po batteries should never be charged beyond 4200mv. Doing so damages the battery and posses a fire risk. While trying to track down the "100% for hours" issue I noticed that at 4351mv it was still climbing. If this is a common issue then the manufacturers and the vendors you purchased it through need to be notified.

BTW, this is not something that I can fix. This is a kernel/hardware level issue.

Don't both with the widget, just open the app to monitor the mv level.

Battery calibration app also works.. Charging atm

No problems here.
Maximum value i saw was 4210, then it goes back down to 4190 and up to 4205.. Etc etc

It's a no1 d5 by the way
