as on 12/1/2010 - start at 10.31 am Singapore time. Volume to max


as on 12/1/2010 1100 am - 30 minutes later, it is still showing FULL 3 bar...a good sign. Will update again later

as on 12/1/2010 1237 pm - 2 hours 6 minutes later, the RED low battery warning came up.


Experiment stopped




Charging experiment from 1240 pm to 1412 pm, that is 1 hour 32 minutes for 100% full charge.




(So some reports were true, because 3rd party battery lumix cannot detect the battery level correctly, so the bars indication may not be true).






With the fully charged original 895mHa Panasonic battery,
