Hi, Lisa. No, there isn't. The Braille Lite M20 manual says that, in order to get a full charge, the unit must charge for 4 hours, regardless of the current battery level before charging, so I just let it go for 4 hours each time, and reset the battery gauge when I plug it in each time so it's reset when I use it again. Take care.

Sorry for the off topic post, but I have a question. A few months ago, I got a braille Lite m20. Before that, I had a braille lite 2000. My question is this: How can you tell if the braille lite m20 is charging? With the braille lite 2000, it would show you that it was charging when you looked at the battery level in the status menu. The m20 seems to work differently. The battery level never changes until you reset it, and it doesn't show if it is charging or not. Is there a way to know? Thanks. Lisa
