Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2003 08:07:59 -0400 I have also gotten disappointing results with new major brand name 1800 ma batteries, but it was more like 4 - 5 hours of play time, not 2 1/2. Have you set the battery capacity correctly in the config? The default is 1500 ma, and that setting may make your charge status read higher than it is.
