Yes, I know what you're talking about with that other unit. I'd just like to know can we charge the battery before it's low or in critical without the battery remembering where it has been charged before? I think What Paul is remembering is that Braille and Speak you'd run the battery down, so it wouldn't learn to give you false warnings. Now how does this battery really work in our braille notes?
