Re: charging question.

If your batteries really are 2800's then yes, you are very likely to
get 20hrs playback from them. My 2500's seem to go on
forever. batteryuniversity.com is the place to read up on Lithium
Ion charge cycles. I ran mine through a couple of full cycles before
commencing with "random charging"
