Yes, it must be a hassle having to charge every day.....but I suppose we adjust to whatever is necessary. The way I see it....I would have spent that amount of time every day curled up in a ball wishing/praying the pain would go away.......

I wonder......I'm not sure exactly how your unit works....but one thing I found out with mine was that it uses up aLOT more battery juice if I have more than one program running (amped up..) meaning.....I make sure all the other settings are turned down to zero. I usually use program #1 set at around '4'.......before I was savy to this, I would have program 2 set at around '6'....program 3 set at around '7'....etc......what this does is it puts all that extra demand on the battery by having the other settings set so high, EVEN if I'm not using those programs....
So, if I decide I want to use program 2, then I turn program 1 all the way down to zero and then amp up #2.

This came as a surprise to me and instead of having to charge up every 3rd day....I can go almost a week now before charging.
But, not all SCS's run the same way. Maybe this wouldn't be the case with yours.
Also, I was told not to let the battery run down too low, or it will lessen the life of the battery significantly. Did they say this to you?
Maybe yours is different......but that is one of the biggest emphasis put on my instructions regarding charging. Mine suggests charging when it gets down to half tank.

Just curious what your instructions indicate on yours.

You must be getting excited about the trip! I hope you aren't feeling anxious about it anymore! Lisa is so right - you need to ENJOY this from every aspect! Besides, I'm sure that you'll feel good about traveling after you've gone thru it this first time. You just aren't quite sure what to expect since you haven't done this yet........but I'm pretty sure it'll be a breeze.

So anxious to hear how it goes!
