Ah, I see. Well then just ignore my advice. I was way off base. Sounds
like the external battery just doesn't have enough of it's own juice to
do much more.

Hi Christopher,
It's a litiom ion battery and when I charge it with the usb charger
plugged into the wall, I get 100 per cent. Only when i use the
external batery it charges it to about 26 per cent and then the
external batery is low.

What kind of battery does the Plextalk Pocket player have in it? Are you
able to use a different charger and get more than 26% charge on your
Plextalk Pocket? If it's a lithium ion battery and it runs for quite a
while
on a 26% charge then the charge sensor may need a recalibration. Try
letting
it run all the way down and then giving it a complete charge and see
if that
doesn't have it reporting a 100% battery charge.

Hi Dane and Kim,
I bought a usb-charger which doesn't quite do it's job and I'm only
halfway
happy with it. It looks like a normal usb-charger, but has a batery
inside
it. The practical thing, you charge your device via usb and also the
batery
at the same time. The disadvantage is that I am not able to fully
charge my
plextalk pocket player only up to 26 per cent or so. That lasts me
quite a
while, to be fair, but it wasn't quite what I'd expected. Maybe it's
worth
looking round a bit to find a better charger. I'm not quite sure what
I've
got, but can ask a sighted person, if you're interested.

Hi there!
I've not come up against these problems and as you know I'm sure I own a
Zoom H1.
thankfully the battery life with the H1 is about 10 hours so I have an
idea of how much power I have left at any one time when I use the unit.
I have a set of 6 rechargeable batteries set aside for the H1 and
they're
of the Sanyo type, they don't have the memory problems that the older
type
of rechargeable batteries have plus you can have them fully charged and
pull them out when you need them, they're guaranteed to hold 80% of
their
charge over a 12 month period which for rechargeable batteries is pretty
impressive, they take about 4 hours to charge on the charger which came
with them so I've plenty of battery power in reserve given that the Zoom
H1 only takes one battery at a time.
Now I'm looking for an external USB battery pack of some description
that
can be charged and that plugs into the Zoom, that would be good as I
wouldn't have to then keep changing batteries but this solution will do
for the moment.

Have you ever been in the situation where, while recording something
with your digital recorder, your power source is exhausted and you
lose the remainder of the program, not to mention possibly turning an
SD card into just so much cole slaw? Has anyone found remedies for
knowing how much juice your juice-provider has left in it? Do you
find yourself throwing away batteries that probably still have good
life in them, or changing/charging them too frequently, causing them
to develop memories? I know I have, to all of the above, and since I
bought the original Edirol R1, I've not come up with a suitable
solution. If you have, I'd love to hear it.
