I wouldn't put much stock in the talking indicator on the plextalk pocket. It seems that when plugged in, it seems to constantly or continuously charge no matter how full the battery may be! - ---- Original Message ----- From: Life My Way To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 12:55 AM Subject: plextalk pocket battery life when you recharge the battery for the plextalk pocket how long should it take for the battery to recharge fully?
