Basically the book sense goes into a sleep mode instead of completely powering off I believe due to the fact the Book Sense monitors the clock in order to wake up for alarm events. Since the stream has no clock it's probably completely powered off and it's battery then would drain much more slowly than the book sense's does. Raul can you confirm what I'm saying here as I am just guessing as to why the book sense drains faster than the stream does.

As you indicate, however, even without the clock, rechargeable batteries will lose their charge. -----Original Message----- From: rs_denis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 1:56 PM To: gw-booksense Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Running down the battery If the stream doesn't report a change in it's battery level when left over time, then it is because its measuring method is not sufficient to catch the change. All, I repeat all rechargeable batteries loose charge over time. The fact that the clock is always running in the booksense would mean the battery would discharge faster over time than the stream where there is no clock using power when the unit is turned off, but to prevent the discharge of the Sense's battery over time when the unit is not in use is physically impossible until someone invents an entirely new type of battery. If the sense gave up the clock, and the ability to set and maintain alarms, then the battery would discharge more slowly, but over time, it would discharge.
