Output: 1-4x1,5V---/ 50 / 150mA
Output: 1-2x9V---/ 15mA
What on Earth does this mean? I charge 2 batteries for 20 hours. How long should I really be charging them for and is there a risk of overcharging?

The 15 min rechargebles what are those NiMh, NiCd, lithium?
@ billy lee: 2300/150 = 15.3 hours of charging
I use 2800ni-mh rechargables, but for long journeys I built a DDbattery adaptor and they last about forever (I built it 7 months ago and it still hasn't run out (!))

You built who with the what now?
Anyway, with BLUs (or BLU+s) what happens when the batteries get low? Does the led dim, dos the back light fade/cutout? Basically, is there any warning or does it just die like a gamegear and unlike a gameboy?

Heres a play by play of the battery dying:
The program freezes
The screen gets brighter
white lines start going vertically across the screen
The screen fades to white with a slightly darker rectangle in the middle
A weird sound comes out
The sound gets weirder for a while and...
Your batterys die completely.
But...You put in new batterys and everythings ok.
