I haven't found that the SD card runs down the battery significantly. The other types sure do, though.

Unless needed, remove all cards including compact flash and network adapters from the rear and side slots. The wireless cards are especially battery hungry. Also, if you don't need it, turn off Blue Tooth functionality. Any kind of wireless activity, and this definitely includes Blue tooth, is a significant draw. I tend to charge my MPower over night every night and don't think I'm hurting the battery by doing so. But, to be fair, my MPower gets very heavy daily use. hth Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.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.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
