Hi, As I understand it, the 1.08V that Paul is expecting to hear when he presses V in the Support Information Mode if he plugs in the charger after the batteries have gone flat is the figure reported as the End of Discharge Voltage (press E in the Support Information Mode). Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this should be the case if 1.08V is really supposed to be the lowest voltage reached when the batteries are discharged. Thus, when you plug in the charger and immediately check the voltage by pressing V in that mode, he should get the report of 1.08 or something near like 1.10 with my BrailleNote. The figure 1.35 that he gets, if indeed this is the one reported as soon as he plugs in the charger after a battery discharge, is too far from the supposed end of discharge voltage. I suggest, Paul, that you calibrate your BN's batteries (using either the speech or Braille battery test), and when you plug in the charger, see if the reported voltage is still far from 1.08V. I'm just curious, when you press I in the Support Information Mode, what is the reported inaccuracy count?
As for Bob's and Don Bishop's contributions to this thread, the reported voltage changes, depending on the charge of the batteries and yes, the age of the batteries as well. When my batteries were still new, I get a report of 1.50 or 1.49 volts when I check as soon as the batteries are fully charged. Now, it just says 1.45V even with 100% charge, but I think that's still good enough. As Don has noted, when he checked at first, it said 1.43. When he unplugged and re-plugged the charger, then checked once more, it said 1.40V. Thus, the voltage decreased by 3 notches just with that bit of fiddling with the charger. But this should not cause alarm, I suppose. HTH, Roselle >----- QUOTED MESSAGE ----- >Sent by: "Dean Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Okay I give up.
