Actually, I think that the battery life is pretty good.

Too soon to say about the battery. They did not say anything about a
larger battery so I assume it is the same. I never had particularly poor
battery life. I do like the fact that on the later model 1 and on this
model 2 that there is a voice indication as to battery level.

Does the battery last longer Mike? If it does then I might consider
purchasing the new model and get the one I have sold.
