Here's the update. It's not good.
Again, after all the time charging-recharging (I've spent more time doing that or tied to an adapter to charge it than I ever have using it!) here's the latest on battery life.
After a full charge AND NOT USING IT - AT ALL. I'll repeat, NOT. AT. ALL.
4 bars lasted 15" (6:05-6:20pm)
3 bars lasted 90" (6:20-7:50pm)
2 bars lasted 100" (7:50-9:30pm)
1 bar lasted 80" (9:30-10:50pm)
0 bar lasted 35" (10:50-11:25pm)
At 11:25 the message displayed, "The battery is almost empty. Connect to a power source as soon as possible to begin charging."
The flashing orange light turned red and then at 11:40 the DR1000S shut down.
So, NOT USING IT the battery life (after a few full cycled charge-recharges) is ~5 1/2 hours.
This just cannot be right. What devise runs out of power - doing nothing, after less than 6 hours???
So, by these calculations and by simply reading PDF's today, I can only expect it to hold a charge for a few hours? Someone tell me you are getting much m-u-c-h longer battery times than I am.
If this is all the DR1000S is capable of, then it is pretty useless even for all its great qualities of a full size PDF reader.
