I understand that perhaps some older batteries might die a few minutes earlier, but certainly nowhere near the point where any compensation should be due. It's not like this was a transcontinental flight with no power for 4+ hours. Worse - you even admit it lasted the whole flight and STILL asked for compensation. Why?
It's not petty at all, Delta touts the power outlets as a feature and it is one of the reasons I'll pay for First. If I'm not getting something I'm offered, I think Delta should make it right.
