On Battery Life
Thursday, June 10th, 2004 05:32 pmLet's just clarify quite how distressing I find the <6-hour charge on my T3:
Visor Neo: 2 AAA batteries inserted halfway back from Plymouth, 24th May. 'Your batteries are EXTREMELY low' message appeared while I was on the beach on Tuesday, 8th June. And I had spare batteries in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladymoonray's car (or could've bought them at the 'supermarket' in Camber).
Tungsten T3: battery charged to 100% before leaving for work this morning. Came home early due to proto-migraine so spent an hour on the futon reading an e-book (less effort on achy limbs). Have just had 'Your batteries are low, some functions may be disabled'. To be fair, battery is still around 20%: I should get another hour or so out of it, if I don't mind being nagged.
If anything, I'd been using the Visor more -- haven't yet done any keyboardy writing on the T3. (100-word drabbles ahoy! Though had better not attempt anything ambitious in case it dies on me.) I've been using the same apps on both -- Wordsmith for writing, Palm Reader for reading, a bit of 4Corners for solitaire games, occasional glance at Tidetool, plus Calendar / Address / To-do.
A conservative estimate, then:
A pair of AAA batteries lasts sixteen times as a T3 battery charge.
