Well we have all bought electrical stuf once in a while. I am not saying they are lying. Usually a company will give the maximum battery life in perfect conditions. For example, many minidisc player companies can state their battery life at 50hours but this is when the volume is set on 0 and when using decent batteries and in the optimum temperature. I only have to look at my minidisc handbook by Sharp, and it states that the battery life of 72hrs is when alkaline batteries are used, in temperature of 20celcius and with no volume on.
