I find that I generally lose at least 15 percent a day,. And I generally charge my BN on the weekend, and run it completely down about every six weeks.
The gauge is generally around 20% by Friday evening and some days I really do use it more than a couple of hours a day. I have not seen this lately but used to get a chuckle when occasionally I would see a reading of the battery gauge at 117%.

I guess I'd really like to hear what people do in this regard. I charged my bn qt up overnight and unplugged it yesterday morning. I would guess I used it maybe two and a half to three hours at times during the day. This might be a slight over exaggeration. However, when I finally put it away for the night, I was at 75 percent. I turned it on this morning and was at 72 percent. I turned it off and then back on a few minutes later to add something to my address book. Now, I was at 71%. I turned it on just as I was writing to you and after a few hours, I am still at 71 percent. I just can't imagine that I use this thing 16 to 20 hours during the week, but by Saturday, I will be looking at probably seven percent. I just wonder if I need to complain about a bad battery or not. One would think that if we really get 20 hours and if I use the unit for one to two hours a day, more likely one, that I should last for two weeks or more. Any comments from anyone reading this message would be appreciated. And why doesn't that l key work in the support page? At 1/5/2004, you wrote: >Paul, >i must charge my battery about 3 times a week.
