Trickle charge and deep discharge options do not exist on v2 or FMR
models, as the hardware does the charging, not the software. You should
easily be able to get well in excess of 6 hours playback from the unit, as
battery life is at least comparable with the nimh batteries in the older
models, and probably better.
