I had the same problem on the Handheld BP yesterday. I was on a couple
flights yesterday afternoon. Before I left for the airport, I plugged the
BP in. It was at 97% when I left. When I got to my final destination, I
turned the BP on and it was at 1%, and I got the message battery critically
low. The BP was off before the flight, and the key lock was on the whole
time. I suspect this is the same problem, though it might have something to
do with the security screening process at the airport.

Hi Scott, my experience with these batteries is not with the docking
station, but with the Braille-Plus Mobile Manager. I literally had a battery
to go from perfectly fine to completely dead in less than 12 hours. It
worked when I put it to bed and it was dead the next morning.
I believe these things have the tendency to just short out or something. The
cure? Order a new battery. There is nothing else you can do.
