Hi, Stacey. My Mpower battery cycle is at 53. It has never gone back to one when running the battery flat. I have flattened my battery a number of times. I sent my unit in once to have the battery checked and they ran it up to 30. That's why I am now at 53. I have a hunch that the cycle will never go back to one unless the battery is changed. That makes sense to me. I think the idea of a battery cycle count is so that you know how many times you have charged your battery. These batteries can only be charged for a specific number of times before they need replacing. As I recall, the number is pretty high, somewhere in the 500's. But if the cycle count went back to one, you'd have no idea how many times the battery had been charged.

My battery cycle count is at 25 even after running the battery flat. Dean said yesterday that the battery cycle should go to one after running the unit flat. Mine doesn't do this. The cycle count just goes up, so I think I should recalibrate. My gage still says it's accurate though. It says gage is accurate plus or minus two percent. If I calibrate my battery even though the gage says it's accurate, will it hurt anything? Thanks, Stacey and Amigo I've just charged the unitl this morning and the cycle count is 25. ___ 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
