I just burned through the 2nd set of batteries with my wikireader in a<br>
month and a half. I know I have averaged less than 15 minutes a day of<br>
on time, so I am getting no where near the 90 hours of battery life<br>
advertised. Don't know if I have a bad one, or if the code needs tweaking.<br>
<br>
Anyone else notice the battery life has not been so good?<br>

The voltage of Alkali based batteries will decrease over time, so that often they will not be able to power an electronic device even though they are not fully discharged. Lithium batteries are best for things like the WikiReader because the voltage stays constant for the most part. <br>
