Hello Tom - 

TW>>> to .75 amps. And of that the Screen Back light draws about
TW>>> half of that. The big prolbems in that people want them as
TW>>> small and as Light as possable so they build them with
TW>>> small batteries. People Gripe about the 2 to 4 hour usage
TW>>> with those batteries yet would scream Lowder if they had
TW>>> a Bigger(Heaver) battery.

TW> Before Li-ion batteries became standard on most laptops one

TW> real solution comming on line at some point in the Future
TW> though. And that is the Fuel Cell battery. For the outdoor
TW> types there are special Solar Cell arrays also avaiable.
