Ron,
You do need to read the email you are referring to, and their context with a
bit more care:

Note that they are discussing the Neo 1973, ie GTA01.  This has been a
long-known
fact.

The about to be released GTA02, also known as the Neo Freerunner has much
longer standby-time .. I hesitate to quote without looking it up, but
into several
days I think.
