XM Helix and Inneo Portables

[FreshJ]

<p>I reciently got an XM Samsung Helix unit so that I am able to listen to Ron and Fez During my work day.&nbsp; I have to say it is a great unit, but I am soooooo disappointed with the battery life of this unit.&nbsp; I only get about 5 to 6 hours before it just quits.&nbsp; I'm wondering if this is normal or if anyone else seems to think that this may be out of the ordinary.&nbsp; I think I may write them and tell them that it really should have at least 8 hours so that one could listen at work all day.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I can listen for at least ten hours (probably more) on my Inno. But it's mostly recorded content. If you're listening live and/or using the FM mod it will use more battery life.<br />

I have a Tao but same story with the battery life. Live listening will always use more battery than listening to recorded content.<br />
