Hi Sandy and the rest of you fine folks,
Since you stated that you have a rough idea as to when you should be
thinking of changing the batteries, I must ask, roughly how long do they
usually last?
I don't expect a specific number of hours, just a rough idea.
Thanks.

The battery indicator doesn't work correctly, but neither does it
work while using rechargeables. As I said, the extended battery life
more than makes up for the fact the indicator doesn't work
correctly. I just keep track of how long I've had them in, and when
I think they should be getting low, I keep a check on the
percentage. When the level goes below 100 percent, I have another
pair ready. I won't update the firmware or transfer books when the
battery level reaches that point.
