Hi, Andy. I remember hearing about that a year ago when I was on the list
but I thought I heard that a software revision had corrected the problem.
As I remember, people were upset because, if they left a flash card in the
unit, the drain was pretty fast. I remember Larry or someone stating that
the problem would be fixed with the next software release.
It sounds like that didn't happen or the drain used to be even worse.
I wonder if I just misunderstood what I had read so long ago<grin>.

Hi Paul,
Yes, the BN LOSES ABOUT 5% of its charge per day even if not used. This is
because all current drain comes from the battery, and it doesn't have
another internal battery as does a computer. i understand that this drain
can be higher if a CF card or microdrive is left in the unit when it is not
being used.
