NX80 Charge Time

[r0b456]

I got my NX80V today -- very excited.

I have read through the manual quite a bit, and looked through quite a few Clie websites, so I'm pretty much ready to just jump right in. The only thing that I'm waiting for now is for the unit to charge. I have had experiences in the past with Li-Ion PDA's having battery charge issues because they were not allowed to charge completely before use (I'm impatient, I can admit it).

I've been charging my NX80 for close to 2 1/2 hours now. The manual says the amber light will turn off when the unit is fully charged. After 2 1/2 hours, though, it's still on. I was just wondering how long, on average, does it take to fully charge an NX80?




Thanks,

Rob

Generally,

How long does a charge last, performing standard PDA functions on 1/4 to 1/5 backlight use?

In answer to your question:

My answer would be "Just About Forever". No, seriously. The NX80 battery life is simply stunning, I keep my backlight on full brightness all the time and play lots of MP3 files throughout the day. There have been times where I have gone 3 days between chargings - it's quite remarkable. Without the heavy audio use and with only 1/4 to 1/5 backlight, I would imagine you could probably get a week of use between chargings, but that's just a guess.

Excellent ...

While charging, it's a good time to plan any transition, plus puruse the manual.
