Hi Tom, I think you may have missed my para 2: " it lasted about 4 hours" ;-) I'm not at all unhappy with the performance; I suppose I just hoped that it'd be even better.
I did only charge for around 12 hours, as recommended by Newer; maybe I'll try charging it longer next time I run it right down, just in case it improves things.
