Thank you, Londa. That is all I was trying to say yesterday. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry when I wrote what I did, so it probably seemed a lot more sharp than I intended. Sorry for any hurt feelings. I lost my BN's charger when I was at a convention this year. It's lucky I had an extra one, I don't know what I could have done except to buy a new one. To me, twenty-seven dollars doesn't seem like that much to spend to make sure my unit would keep functioning over a period of time.

I bought a charger from Radio Shack for my Keynote Companion because the one that came with it broke. For those of you who have done this, it's a bad idea. I ruined my Companion over a period of time. The keynote companion was the predecessor of the bn, so I'd guess the same thing holds true. My point is that it might appear to be fine now, but you may be slowly destroying your unit. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Keith Gardner Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 6:48 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] BRAILLENOTE BATTERY LIFE??? That can only tell in time, Obvoiusly like any other electrical product if you use the wrong type of power supply etc it can cause other problems in the future, it might be fine getting a battery from another source that might be cheaper, but then that battery could cause more damage therfore costing more money.

Should anyone get a battery from another source, if one has an sma, does this change anything should the bn become defective for any reason? There are a couple of us who have wondered about this.
