Hi Vicky, I never check those numbers, but I certainly agree with you about the battery modification. I'm very pleased with the battery gauge now. I didn't get the "battery critical" message until the level dropped to 2%. That's plenty of time to respond to that message. I also received a different charger when my unit returned. The connection is firm when plugged in, again, a nice upgrade. Not required, as I understand it, but a tech rep told me that they are starting to send out these chargers when the units come in for service.

And, my mPower does indeed seem to be working much better in that regard now--going down to a level of zero per cent when I do the o chord p, and giving me the battery low and critical messages for a much longer time before shutting off. Well, actually, I've never let the mPower shut off, as I didn't want to re-establish my ActiveSync partnership and all; but, rather, when the power got to zero, and the nominal available charge got to eight or so, I would then plug in the AC adapter. But, as for my question, I'm just trying to see if the rest of you who received the battery modification are experiencing the same thing with the last measured discharge. When I first got the mPower back, it was showing me a last measured discharge of 1646 with a design capacity of 1650. Then, after the first discharge and recharge, it was showing a last measured discharge of 1526 with the same design capacity of 1650. And, now that I've had the second discharge and recharge, it is now showing a last measured discharge of 1483 with that same design capacity of 1650. Not complaining here at all, just wanting to confirm that this drop in last measured discharge is normal. ___ 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
