Prism Battery

How many days can you go without re-charging?

1.

2 days with average use, usually juice it up when level is <45%

When absolutely necessary? 4 days underclocked to 10MHz.

Usually 1, maybe 2 days with 'normal' usage.

But I always cradle it as soon as I'm home irregardless of the battery status.

I usually only charge it while hotsyncing at work. If I don't turn the brightness up too high I can usually make it through until Monday morning before charging. Though sunday school and both church services on Sunday take it close sometimes.

Memplug is always in.

Of course, it all depends on your usage. I've found that I can nearly double battery life by setting the brightness down to the lowest possible level (which is still brighter than the M505 in most cases) for the ambient environment.

...that said, I am always sure to pack an emergency charger in my backpack, just in case. I've found it to be a lifesaver for weekend trips! I like the one from Techcenter, as I can grab the AC adapter that comes with the Prism and use that instead of the battery pack, if I wish.

As noted, it is completely impossible to say because it depends on your usage.

I can usually go a 3-4 days if usage is normal (although I always top off when I sync anyway if I'm home). If i'm on the road and using it as an ebook reader a lot, doing long backups, using it as a phone, I'm lucky to get 1-2

THe battery usage issue is a constant complaint for me. As the Prism becomes EVERYTHING to me, from contact manager to wireless email client, to phone, to games,to ebook reader, if I actually use any app intensively (like ebooks on a transatlantic flight) the batteries drain fast. We need a solution. The emergency charger is all that is available but it goes through batteries fast. We just need better batteries.
