To answer some of Blake's questions--- The last time I had to charge it, the battery had been completely discharged. And, I can continue to completely discharge it to re calibrate it. I have had my BP for less than one year. It is still under warranty I think. The battery just seems to discharge so quickly. I'll take some time to check out the charging time and make some more notes. I can still get a new battery, right?
