So Bill, how long did the HC-2 keep working?
Maybe that last bar is where all the juice is!

Charging Test...
I fully charged my HC-2.
I set my brightness to full.
I set it to not sleep.
2:30 pm - turned it on
4:30 pm - showing the last bar.
10:00 pm - showing red
10:40 pm - it had shut down
Flashing battery indicator on re-power.
I've never let it get to "red" before!
I've got it on the charger now.
7:45 am - on the charger
9:00 am - shows 1/2 charged
11:00 am - shows full indicator, but still says "charging"
2:45 pm - shows full indicator, but still says "charging"
I have always put it on the charger when not in use
I have never let it discharge fully.
I have used the reset button before. This would have been while it was near full.

I fully charged my HC-2, turned it on and set it to 50% brightness and not to sleep.
started at 1215 PM
red line started at 905 PM
Black screen by 930 PM
The batteries lasted 8 hours and 50 minutes of useable power, the last bar lasted about 3 hours.
That's a lot more than I expected.

This is all good but let's remember on-but-not-being-used power
consumption may not be the same as on-and-being-used power consumption;
we may still not know how long it really lasts. Hopefully they are
the same.
As much as I love the system, as we cannot easily change batteries
or use it while charging I certainly couldn't recommend it if it can't
go the distance of an average day at a train show.
Cheers,
Tim

The conclusions drawn from these tests may be the battery lasts 8 hours and the charge indicator is not linear.
