Battery Information
This product contains an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Under
normal operating conditions, a new battery will last 14-16 hours on a full
charge. However, battery life is diminished due to a variety of factors including
temperature and backlight usage. All rechargeable batteries lose their effective
charge length over time.
The internal battery can be charged by connecting the included USB cable to the
device and a computer. Alternatively, the battery can be charged by connecting
the USB cable to the device and using the included adapter to plug the charger
into a standard 110V wall outlet.
