I haven't timed it but it's certainly more than 10 hours. As you so
rightly point out, a more powerful processor is going to use more power.
I'm not at all complaining. I just need to get a good feel for the
battery drain ratio so that I know how much "playing" room I have before
charging it. I'm a happy camper right now.

The real question here is. Since the old units got about 21 hours how
much do the new ones get? Having asked that question remember the
hardware is different a more powerful processor for example. Also how
much to you get on the new machines total? Even if it were 10 try and
find a laptop that will run that long.

It says the battery gauge is accurate, but I also did a recalibration
just to know it was done.
Hey, having nothing to compare it to, I'm not complaining about the
battery. But if you guys say it's not as good as older models, then you
have something to base a comparison on.

Maybe you guys need to re-calibrate the battery gage?

Some one told me theirs was at 84 percent then dropped to 79 percent
the
next morning.

Hi, Pam. What I am interested in with MPower users is how much does
their battery drain when they don't use the unit? Mine is at nine
percent, so I assume I will bet the messsage and then I will be able
to charge it. I wonder if it is the new memory chip and the alarm in
combination that drains the battery more than with the classic bn's.
At 9/12/2005, you wrote:
Definitely still a concern here too. This last time I got a "battery
low" warning at nine percent which was fine. But then about a minute
later it completely died. I plugged it in. It was still at eight
percent. I also had to reset the time and date.
