Dear Mary, Before my Optacon battery died, a 24-hour charge would usually do it. Sometimes I needed less than that.

I decided that tonight was the night that I'd sort out all of my monthly documents: bank statement, visa, etc. Well, when I got to the third document, my optacon quit. The battery ran out. It's now plugged in to recharge. Thing is, I can never remember how long I'm supposed to keep it plugged in for. It's been ages since I've had to worry about a nickel Cadmium battery. Still, I got almost everything accomplished that I set out to do. I'm home tomorrow, so I can complete my task.
