Re: [disklavier] Poor range on Mark IV controller -- What about battery charge?

2006-06-17 by jimsdca@aol.com

I have a Mark IV - but with the small, PDA controller.   Curious what others 
find the battery life to be on a full charge.   Mine, less than 6 months old, 
lasts about 1 hour before running completely down and needing to be returned 
to the cradle.

Seems short for a PDA-based system.
