I got no usable advice from "support". Now it seems by accident or something? I have gotten extended battery life. This is how it went. I got the 3 rd one and charged it right away…did not take very long 10 minutes or less and the little green battery indicator moved rather slowly?…on using it I got no better battery life…then I was using it while working and it stopped...., I wasn’t able to get to it to turn it off for a while, maybe an hour or so. When I got back to the computer to plug it in nothing happened when It seemed dead to the world would not come on would not charge…totally dead. Maybe an hour later I plugged it in again…it started charging and the little green battery indicator was moving rapidly, something different. Not sure how long it charged….I let it play over night and…low and behold…in the morning, over 8 hours later it was still playing!!!! I used it this morning and it played for 4 hours more,...

I returned the first 2 because the batterys would last less that 4 hours total, just playing music, no video. One of the reasons I got this thing Is that there are times I need it to play for up to 11-12 hours, not much to ask when it is advertised to play for 35 hours. So do I just keep returning these things untill I get one with a good battery? or is there some other workable way to get 12 hours of play time?

I did have a few instructional issues. This website gave me the help that this technology challenged girl needed. Thank you so much.
