I noticed a few recent posts on the battery life of the 33s.
Having completed another semester of my engineering degree (I'm finally on to the last semester!), I pulled out my stack of backup calcs.
Here is the status of three of my 33s':
1: CNA52707099 (Daily use) - No battery indicator. Good.
2: CNA41707402 (drawer backup) - Dead. Last used November '05. Bad!!
3: CNA41708631 (weekly use at work) - Batt Low Indicator. Bad!
A stand-by life of a half year is dissapointing. Heck, even my 48G has been on stand-by and in-use for matrix math the whole semester.
