I have a Neuros I 20gb that is 27 months old with about 15gb of music that I inherited from my daughter.  I typically play it through the Neurocast set to Shuffle.  Is that what I should expect or is it time to put in new batteries?

Thanks for your opinions.

Using the Neurocast feature or recording will use up your battery faster than standard playback.  This should just mean that it will need to be charged a little more often.

How long does the battery last during standard, continuous playback?

I only use it with NeuroCast so I'm not sure of how long it lasts in just the playback mode.  It was originally my daughter's machine and if I remember correctly, the battery life was 9 or 10 hours.  She never used the NeuroCast so I can't compare it from then till now.

I wonder if anyone else uses theirs exclusively on NeuroCast.

If you are still getting 9 hours with NeuroCast after 27 months, you are doing good!

I'm sitting at 27 months, and the thing won't hold a charge more than an hour!  I used it the first year mostly with the casting, and used to get about 8 hours.  Had a firmware upgrade problem and didn't use it for a year.  Just recently started using it and it won't hold a charge!

I was reading this thread and realized that I've never stated how long the battery lasts.  I get about 5 hours of playtime broadcasting.  I don't really know how long it plays through the headphones.  

My daughter was very annal about only charging the unit when it was dead and I think that's helped the battery life.  

From what I can tell, a new battery, including shipping is around $15.00 and it doesn't seem to be that hard to install.  I'm going to take apart the unit this weekend and veryify the simplicity of installing a new battery.  If it's as easy as some have made it sound, I think I'm just going to buy a new battery and call it good.  Even if I have to send it back, it's not going to cost much more than that.
