Hi Jason,
There was some previous discussion about battery life on the Disklavier remote. Below is what Tom Wheeler [tnwheeler@...] wrote back in June.

I typically get 2 hours or more on my Mark IV's PDA
controller. One possibility for the shorter time that you are getting is
that your are allowing the backlight to burn longer than I am. The
duration that the backlight is on after each time that you touch the screen can
be set within the system settings. Shorter times will give longer battery
life.
Incidentally, the Li ion battery used in the Mark IV PDA controller is the same
as used in a Sharps Zaurus PDA and these batteries can be order through
Amazon.com for about $25:

I ordered a new battery a few months ago from Amazon and it
works fine. However, even after about 17 months ofalmost daily use
my old battery was still going strong giving well over one hour of use.

- an extended battery for the remote (sorry, 10 minutes battery life
just doesn't cut it, I want it to run for 3 hours!)
