Hi Paul, Due to the functionality on the BrailleNote, there will always be a gradual draining on the battery, even when your BrailleNote is switched off. Leaving cards in the PCMCIA or flash card slot, will, depending on the type of card, result in battery charge being lost at a quicker rate as well. Therefore, you may not always get your 20 hours from the BrailleNote.
