Default Aurora 9x erratic battery percentage readings on transmitter

Hi. My 9x is 8 months old. It has started giving erratic battery percentage remaining readings on tx. The percentage will jump up and down from10-20 % every couple seconds for no apparent reason. It will drop well below 50% after only 10-15 minutes of flying. However, the voltage seems to hold steady at 7.2 or better even when the meter says I have only 20-30% remaining. I took the battery and had it tested and it still had 7.4v while tx meter showed only 20% power remaining. Is there a problem with the radio, or is it the battery, or what? I lost a plane 2 weeks ago due to loss of signal. It went into failsafe for a couple seconds, Then went to full throttle and dove straight into the ground. I am afraid to use the radio now, please advise.
