Mobility Site - View Single Post - Battery is dead after idle for few hours.

Some answers;
1) By "idle", I do mean I have shut it off for the night and just sitting in the case. I have started checking to see if it is really off.
2) I had brightness set at 100%. I have now cut back to about 60%. I will try that. Thank you.
3) I was not aware of the 2 levels of "off". But checking it I think I am turning it off, with a short click.
4) I switch between a pair of batteries. I think both are fully charged. I find it interesting from a previous post about life of battery life. My "Battery Bar" tells me I have between 2 hrs. 45 mins. to 3 hrs. of life after a full charge. Does this not seem low?
5) Why does a PPC turn itself on at midnight? I had never heard of this before.
