Hi Peter, I get significantly fewer battery warnings on the Apex than on the mPower. I get one "battery low" message when the battery has 10 percent remaining, and then a "battery critical" message when the level goes down from 4 to 3 percent. I can go on using it for perhaps 15 or 20 minutes after that before it conks out. I should point out that this is based on using just the braille display, without speech, and usually without WIFI or Bluetooth turned on. Personally I quite like having fewer warnings, as I'm a bit of a compulsive battery charge checker anyway, but it can be disconcerting when these things change.
