I've discovered something that might be of interest, and it would make dealing with the battery a little easier. I'm not sure if the apex has this problem, but my mPower was doing this thing where I'd be using it on battery for a good while, and
then it would suddddenly start saying "battery is low". It wasn't true though. It would still take about four hours after that for the unit to die. I tried callibrating even though the gauge said it was perfectly accurate, and that fixed it, I
think. I'm going to use it off of AC power til it dies and see if it starts giving a too early low battery warning. If things work as they should, this is a useful post for anyone else who experiences the same thing I have. I'll post sometime
tomorrow and let you all know if the seemingly unnecessary battery callibration fixed the issue.
