Hi listers, Agreed; my battery initially held up very well, but now it won't drive the disk unit at all.

When it was said there would be ten hours battery life from the PTX1, this was greeted with universal chortling. Despite recalls because of faulty batteries, I have never had anything like ten hours out of my PTX1 away from the mains. Using an MP3 disk with a battery level of less than 60% causes the machine to lock and I reckon I would never get an entire audio cd from battery power.

This range does not hold battery charge well at all. Hazel
