Maestro-Its been reported that Maestro needs to run or charge every 30 days

Craig I have owned Version A and Version B Maestro. Version A really needs to be used once a month to keep the internal battery charged. This issue was addressed and corrected in the Version B model. I would not recommend letting the Maestro sit for an extended time without being plugged in....just my 2 cents...BTW I was very pleased with both versions....

Version A the power button is on top and Version B the power button is on the left side. Hope this helps.

I have had my Model A version for a very long time and it is a VERY small task to take it from my case and plug in the +12V supply and charge once a month, I have also heard of the Version B Batteries swelling and messing up the display so take it for what it's worth they both have one problem or another.

I also modified my Maestro A and brought out the charge cable out to the external battery case so if I need to charge the tablet battery when it get's to low it is easily done by plugging a 5 Volt charger directly into the tablet so no problem even if it doesn't get charged every 30 days I just thew the old 2 Amp microUSB charger on it over night and swap cables back and away I go. Oh I can also plug it into my external battery pack 2A USB charge port with my Modification and have it charge the internal battery if I am out in the field and run into issues.
