Battery length is specific to the receiver model. If you use the Holux M-1000 then you can expect around 17 hours of use. So what I usually do is if I use the receiver on a daily basis for about 2 hours, I charge it once a week just to be safe.
Hope this helps. Barbara Siple said the following on 6/11/2008 11:20 AM:
I was also wondering how one determines when the receiver battery is low? what is the approximate length of time the receiver can be used on a full charge?

When you start the application are you always in Pedestrian mode by default? Also I can tell when my reciever is connected but how does someone with no Sight know when the reciever battery is low or is it the case of just keeping the reciever charged up? I was a bit worried about pairing my reciever after my battery went low on my Braillenote as I was asked for an authorisation code which I don't actually know so I just ignored this and fortunately it got me connected so I am wondering if because I am using the Braillenote it never needs the code for the reciever which it might if using just a standard Sighted GPS system.
