This issue is that iRex added a lot more power draining functionality to the DR and then put in a wimpy battery. They could have put in a higher capacity battery and if they wanted to keep costs down, made a slot for a second battery that would be an option for the user. That way the user can pay to add in another high capacity battery. This makes a lot more sense then what they did. What they did was give a battery that was underpowered (overall) and then not have proper power management from day one. There is no justification for this. It's a mistake that will cost them big time.
