-- Prism/Minstrel Battery Life (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=9605)

What are people seeing regarding battery life in the Minstrel S modem?

The past two days, my battery has not made it through a single day before needing recharging...I was NOT using the modem extensively and I thought it was in "sleep" mode most of the time.

Prism battery life however seems to be doing well.

Minstrel S Battery Life

I've been running about 5 hours before needing to recharge the Minstrel. I am also not a heavy user.

Prism battery life is great.

My Prism battery seems to drain pretty quick. After about 30 minutes of use I am down to about %80. This may be normal, I really don't know.

What is the brightness of your screen set at? I've found that by setting it at half rather than full and can increase my battery life by almost 4-fold. Imagine how much life you would get if you put it all the way down.

I would say my brightness is at about 60%. I will try lowering it a little more and see if that helps.

Do you use any "hacks" to speed-up the processor? I think one of the side effects of such hacks is reduced battery life.
