a number of times the tablet wont switch on if the battery is loaded with less then 30-40%
is this normal or do i have to "condition" the battery a few cycles to full drain?

The first initial charge is important when you bought the tablet, however modern lithium poly batteries do not require this like the older batteries. And you do not need to drain the battery to 0% before charging the battery, this can wear the battery down. So charging battery at say 50% will not give a memory effect like on Nickel-based (NiCd and NiMH).

All I can say is that I had a tablet that when it got to anything close to 50% the tablet switched off. I took the tablet back to where I bought it and Arnova sent a brand new one back to the shop.

My Arnova 10 G2 has this issue as well. If my son plays it, he can run it down to where it turns off at very low battery levels. If I fully charge it and just put it to sleep it will turn off on its own and not be able to be woke back up unless I plug in the power cord and I have seen as much as 20% or so battery remaining once it comes back on. I found it odd at the time but did not really think that much about it.
