Yo Derek: This is what I do usually to calibrate my battery and I've never had a problem. I basically let it go to full at 100 in the charger. Then, I unplug and turn on "excersise the braille display" option on my braille note (that's space with i [read with i on qt], then x [on both models]).
Then just basically let it do that, I usually turn it on at like 8pm since I'm using it and let it go until it dies. I typically do that on weekends. That's just my way of doing it. Not sure if that's advisable though,---it's always helped me, so I'm not sure. On 12/12/08, Malaina VanderWal <[email protected]> wrote: > Do you have an MPower or clasic.
