Eva, How long do you have the bn on during the day? Do you have accessories like a flash card or disk drive connected to the bn? These will also drain the battery a little faster, though it's still not bad. I'll tell you what really drains it quick though. Go online for a while with two accessories in your bn! Whooo! Let me tell you! That'll really make it go down! I sometimes use that method to get it low enough so I don't have to tie up my bn with the "battery is flat" or "exercise the braille display" thing for a long time. I use my bn a lot and for long periods, so I prefer to charge it overnight, so it's ready for me during the day. Therefore, when I feel I should recallibrate the battery guige, I run it as hard as I can until I get the "battery is critical" message, and when the percentage reaches about 1 or 0 percent, I do the "battery is going flat" thing, and now that I know about it, I'll probably do the exercise thing. Anyway, hope this helps.
