Thanks for that advice.

Ours wasn't completely flat but it is documented and certainly well

and careful, you can probably use it on charge once it's had a good
start.

Can I ask. I hope to get a Braillenote MPower with my DSA grant for
university. I would like to know, in terms of battery, how much
charge the battery would have had when shipped from my local
Humanware dealer? This is so that I can determine whether I can play
with it right out of the box, or will it come completely flat such
that I have to do this noninterruptive charging? Thanks.

Malaina,
Your friend is able to recalibrate the battery as Rhonda
suggested, or you are able to have your friend discharge the battery
by naturally using it. You can have your friend just use the unit
beyond the battery is low message, beyond the battery is critical
message, and all the way until the unit shuts off, then plug in the
ac adapter. This is something that is recommended to do at least
once a month. It is like excersising the battery to make sure that
it stays at its peak performance. It is also recommended that once
you run the unit completely flat to switch off the unit before
plugging in the ac adapter, then let it charge for a solid three
hours without interuptions.
I hope this information is able to help you.
