Yes that is the whole idea. Most days I could go a whole day with out
any trouble because I don't have high demand and of course the batteries
last longer than that. However there are situations where I might just
want more. For example if I traveled to a different country for
extremely long flights or where I might not have a converter for the
local power. Now that brings up another question why isn't the adapter
multi voltage?

Hey Terry,
If it was a portable battery pack we could choose to take it with us or
we
could just take the Braille Note.
I have another notetaker which shall remain nameless and it is heavier
to
carry.

I like the idea but I also wouldn't want it to add much to the weight.
Since I use mine for GPS I sure don't need anything heavier smile. Of
course its still far lighter than my laptop its on right away and I
don't have to wait for it to boot so its an all around useful device. Of
course there is another solution and that would be a portable battery
pack. For those of us willing to carry it they could make it last a lot
longer.

Terry,
I don't have an answer for that one.
However, I still think it is a good idea.

My concern though is especially when you look at the case where do they
put it. It does take up a lot less room to mount them inside.

Terry,
I think a detachable battery pack would be just the berries. Great idea!

I would to because most of the time it runs out when I am nowhere near a
charging point. So what would be needed would be a detachable pack like
in laptops. I actually like the detachable idea better than a battery
case where you just put in the replacement cells. I suspect they don't
have that because they don't want people putting in the wrong type for
example none rechargeable in a recharging system.

Hi Terry,
I was not talking so much about having to replace your batter, I was
talking about having an extra battery to put in when your regular
battery needed
charging.
Maybe it does not make sense to you but I think it would be a good
option to have. I would be willing to pay for that privelege. Virgie

And I thought I was a cynic. I suspect though that there is another
reason why they are not removable. I don't think they are making any
money doing it in fact I bet it is a pain. 95 per hour to have someone
sit there and pull the units apart isn't cost effective at all. Since I
have never opened the unit and looked inside I don't know however
suspect that the redesign would cost more money course then we could all
complain about that cost. I have had my units both of them for over
three years and never replaced the batteries.

Virgie,
Trust me. It won't be offered because it's a money issue! do you think
these companies will willingly give up money? come on. they're out there
to gouge you to death like an angry bull with a matador chasing after
him! It's more than the battery issue that needs attention. Isaac
