Hi. Thanks for that. My only concern is that you might not think to charge
up your bn and then it would go out on you at a critical time such as in
the middle of a meeting. I have a braille lite 18 and I suppose it loses
some of its charge each day, but I never have to charge it up and it will
last me for a few months between charges.
I wonder if it would help if one just removed the flash cards from the unit
if the unit was not being used?
Those of us who have the bookport from A P H had the same problem, but they
were able to fix it with a firmware upgrade.

Hello Paul,
Yes, you are correct! The BN battery discharges quickly and perhaps to
needing to be recharged every two weeks. The BN battery is the weak link
in the chain as I see it. The battery discharges rapidly especially when
a flash card or two is in the unit. On the other side of the coin though,
the battery can be recharged very quickly at least two hours and one can
keep it plugged in all night with no consequences. If you plug in your
wireless phone each night, you would do the same with a BN or VN. It
depends on what you wish to accomplish the next day.

Hi, Listers.
Someone, today, told me that they need to sharge their braille note every
two weeks or so whether they use it or not. They said it loses some of
its charge each day even if you don't use it.
I thought I had heard on this list that that particular problem had been
fixed about nine months ago.
I thought I remembered it being something about leaving in a microdrive
or flash card or something.
Does the BN actually lose a lot of its charge each day necessitating a
recharge every two weeks or less?
Thanks.
