Hi, Sandra I have similar experiences with the battery life of my unit and, indeed, I did send it back to PulseData Europe about 18 months ago for replacement as I wasn't satisfied with its life. Net result? Exactly the same even to the extent of them scoffing at the idea of a 20-hour lifespan.
To my mind, the batteries (along with the continued withholding of the SDK) are a major flaw in the unit.

I am a little concerned that this "new" battery is not quite the thing. For example, having charged it to 100 % I left the bn unplugged over night, with no cards in and, of course, turned off, the power level went down by 20 % when I checked the following morning. Also, if I read a book, using a storage card, but not doing much else with the bn for, perhaps, 7 to 8 hours (being an avid reader) my battery goes down from 100 % to 9 % how does this performance compare with others who have new or relatively new batteries? I would be very grateful to hear as I am loath to send the machine back, especially as I paid £150 for the privilege only two weeks ago. Thanks, Sandy. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2004 12:45:24 -0400 >Subject: [Braillenote] One more suggestion: >How about a battery which doesn't need calibration every 6 weeks? >The present battery has never made sense to me but I'm in the dark ages so there. >Mary Ellen Earls >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
