This is confirmed Rick.
And to everyone else, I honestly don't see what else can be said about
the battery, *smile*. It drains faster than the Stream and there is
nothing which can be done about that. If you plan on not using the
BookSense for several days, plug it in before using it. The manual
states that from a full charge if not used for several days, you should
be able to go up to 15 days. However this is subjective since batteries
drain faster depending on many factors. Temperatures and the life time
of the battery being two of them.
Many thanks.

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.

I thought GW Micro indicated that the BS had a separate non-replaceable
battery which runs the clock?
As you indicate, however, even without the clock, rechargeable batteries
will lose their charge.

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.

i know. somehow the stream has it set so when it is turnned back on the
battery level doesn't change. any way of making the booksense work like
that. sorry for going off topic a bit but had to to show an example of this.

Hello. I agree that it would be a perfect world if the battery didn't
drain when not in use. In fact, I wish my cell phone did that and that my
netbook did that as well. I have not powered up my netbook for several
days and when I last used it, the battery was at 95 percent. I just
powered it on and wow, it's down to 65 percent.
Many thanks.

i've done that before. what would be nice to see in the booksense is a
way of turnning the unit off so say you're using it and then turn it off
and then a few days turn it on and the battery stays at the same point it
was when you turn it off. currently, when you turn it off and then turn
it on later, the battery goes down slightly or more depending on when you
last used it. this problem goes for all gw hardware products well,
notetakers anyway.

Hello. We have this marked down to handle it better. Perhaps the
BookSense should automatically power itself off when the battery gets
extremely low so it won't lock up.
many thanks.

Has anyone run down the booksense battery until it stopps playing?
After doing this, I connect the ac adaptor, press power for 2 seconds,
the booksense will not power on. The only way I can get the booksense
to
power on is to do a reset.
