time to accumulate enough to fire up the system and begin trickle charging.

In other words, charging state does not start right away if the unit is left uncharged for
a period of time. If you were quick to judge, sooner or later you will encounter
the same issue with the new / refurb unit too.
Unfortunately mine went from a full charge to plum dead in a matter of overnight. It's as if I left the lights in the unit on all day and drained the battery. I haven't even used the lights beyond checking out all "the bells & whistles" when I first got it.

Yesterday morning I had the unit on at work, then I turned it off. When I pulled it out at 3:00, I had one bar of battery juice remaining; it had been off all day. I turned it back off & when I got home at 4:00 I attempted to turn it back on, but there was no power left at all. I plugged it into my computer at home and left it plugged in for three hours to recharge. I just checked it and so far the battery shows a full charge, but I have no idea how long that will last..
