problem with battery NWZ-A845

[snoopy201]

got it 4 days and noticed that the battery lasts 10 hours and wrote that lasts 30 hoursso it is more generally how the battery lasts ?

It does appear to only last around 10/12hrs in normal use (audio)

Past Sony players really did deliver on the promised battery life, with the NWZ-A845 it's one lie after another.

My battery also lasts much less than my previous NWZ-639, just make sure it is off properly when you aren't listening, turn off the battery care function and buy a mains charger off ebay, at least you can listen while charging, unlike the USB lead.
