Hi Michele, is it a classic or an mPower? if it's a classic, it will calibrate when it's fully charged, so as long as you flatten the battery completely before recharging, you don't need to mess about with support information mode (the calibration functions in there are intended to automate the process, but all you need to do is flatten the battery and then recharge). If it's an mPower then a charge/discharge cycle will take about 10 or 12 hours, but may need to be repeated. If you hit SPACE it should tell you what it's doing at the time (e.g "initial charge : started at 11:39pm on Thursday ... has been charging for 5 hours 2 minutes ...").
The battery critical warning is based on voltage, so I have no idea why it would come up when the battery is in a decent state of charge. Feel free to email me directly. regards, Andy. ---- Andrew Riden Software Development Engineer HumanWare Ltd. 11 Mary Muller Drive, Christchurch, New Zealand.
