HI Sarah, I thought I should let you know that leaving the Ucube, ( not Ugobe) Egg charger Batteries in for more than 8 hrs on a consistant basis can and probably will shorten the life of the battery. I do not know how long it will take, maybe months mayby longer, I only say this as I am a seller of these batteries and have been selling them long enough to know to post that on the page I advertise them on. also this infomation came first hand from the dealer whom I get them from directly from the factory that makes them in Taiwan. So if you do leave them in longer than 8 hrs you may shorten the life of the battery and they are not cheap,
I just think you should know . I would not want anyone to have to buy an expensive battery to have it suddenly stop working properly or perhaps cause other problems, These batteries allso need to be completely discharged untill the Pleo " goes to sleep" and also completly charged for the entire 3 hrs or thereabouts. It is tempting to charge after only playing for an hour and having another hour + left and wanting to recharge so you can play quicker with the reasoning being it still has part of a charge so should be ready quicker, and it will work that way but is NOT good for the battery. Just imformation I tell anyone who buys one from me or someone who has one if they dont' know so they don't suddenly wonder why their "new" battery is no longer working as it should.
As for your RB who is broken, are you just waiting for an email or have you returned your Rb yet and are waiting for the Replacement, did you contact Raphael, and did you send them that video of all the problems? take care. RedwoodsMama
