This is Joseph. I don't have mPower myself (I have a
Classic unit), although I could give you some
information. If you use your mPower every day, you can
get approximately 18 to 20 hours from the single
charge. If you don't use your BN, then, as the User
Guide states, you might lose about 3 to 10 percent of
battery charge. (the reason is that BN discharges
itself even though you are not using your unit. if you
store your BN for more than a week, the BN will
discharge completely.) There has been a lot of
complaints about the battery issue for some time now.
(thankfully, HumanWare has recently released a patch
for mPower that addresses this issue.) You can read
about this issue mainly on October archive of the
mailing posts. I hope this information may help you.
