The reason I ask is because I have done this twice and both times resulted in almost pre-implant pain levels. It maybe coincidental, but it was so identical both times it had me wondering. I know they like us to charge everyday, but due to experimentation, and slackness I have often been doing it every second day. Twice I forgot and went into the third day with less than desirable results.
Being able to go two days will be great for work as I often have days where I am away from home 24 to 36 hours. Means one less thing to pack in my bag.

Hi Phil,
I have always charged every other day, I have never been given any advice other than; "if you get low charge up soon".
I have run out completely on a couple of occasions when I have tried to go three days, but have got awoken in the night with pain as the unit shuts down through lack of power.... soon up and running again though
I tend to charge up when I know I am not going to be moving around a lot, usually when I have some stuff to do on the computer or when I decide to have a little practice on the Guitar... It has not improved my playing in any way though which is a bit of a disappointment
