when using the computer usb port to charge the icon it's best if wireless is off on the icon, even using the icon will slow down the charge turning the icon off is the only way to charge it in 3.4 hours from the usb port.

Hi. I just have a few questions about the Icon/Braille+ Lithium Ion batteries. I might be the only one that has noticed this, but my battery charges very slow when charging through the USB port. I plugged my Braille+ in to the USB port, and it got to 7 percent of battery in a little less than an hour. The next time that my battery went completely dead, I plugged it in to AC power. It charged very fast. It was at about 87 percent in the same amount of time that it to charge to 7 percent while connected in the USB port. My next question is about charges of the batteries. How many charges can you get out of the battery before it starts to not last as long on a full charge? If I need to get another battery, do we have to get them from Levelstar, or can we just by them at some kind of battery store? My last question I think could be a bug. I mentioned it in my message about suggestions for a future update. When I am charging my unit, it will be charging. I will listen in the status menu and think, "That is all that it has charged?". I will unplug the unit and I will suddenly get 100 percent of battery life. Has any one else found this problem? I had to reflash my unit once because I had a lot of problems, and it still didn't fix the problem. Is there anyway that this can be worked on for a future update? Chase Crispin
