I would also like to add that battery life is greatly dependent on how you use the unit. If you do a lot of web serfing with a wireless card or listening to online streaming audio, the battery will drain much faster than it would if you were simply typing in the word processor or reading in the book reader. With so many enhancements made to the braille note, there are more ways in which people can use these devices which makes the battery life dependent on how they are being used. Hth

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. __________________________________ Yahoo!
