Really? I read that it would add 50% more, so 10 hours would lead to 15 hours.

But I am indeed satisfied with the Iliad. Though the display seems to have some problems (severe ghosting), but that is more a manufacturers error then policy from Irex.
I'd love the extra time though, and Irex did handle this in a bad dumb way.
There are enough ways to show good faith to the customers.
For example, say OK new battry but 4-5 months later after the pre-15 march buyers.
Or give a voucher for a free replacement when the battery has died/lost its load below a certain percentage.
So it will not bankrupt Irex or cost Irex so much money that they cannot work on a newer model or improved software etc etc.

Just my 2 cents.
