Hi, It's not that the battery power is low on BrailleNote series. The law is that, the more components and power a computer uses, the battery life would decrease fast. BrailleNote is more powerful than Braille Lite in terms of tech specs and software functionality. Another note to keep is that the batteries lose certain capacity over time. My personal advice for prolonging battery life are using wireless components only when needed, charing the battery after almost full drain and turning off the mPower when not in use for a long time. In certain situations, putting the BrailleNote to deep sleep/hibernation mode helps when not using the unit for a very long time (over several days); the problem is that you have to perform service reset to wake up the unit, which meant resetting clock settings. Compared to that, Apex preserves clock settings - all that is required is resetting few braille and other settings. Hope this helps. Cheers, Joseph P.S. You don't have to create a new thread - simply just reply to our messages and you'll be good to go.

Four years old didn't seem that old to me because I have been accustomed to the reliability and long battery life of my Braille Lite, which is eight years old, by the way, and is functioning very nicely even as I write this. I see that standards of longevity and battery power are lower in the BrailleNote. Linda Adams ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
