Hello!
Sometime ago I received a very welcome assortment of items that are obviously Parallax designed. One of them was this very welcome fellow:
http://www.parallax.com/product/28986
Also it came wearing two of these http://www.parallax.com/product/28987
Since this particular board does not wear one of Sparkfun's more interesting ideas, that of a battery gauge, it basically tells the user much the same as the indicators on a laptop, how much of a charge the pack is wearing (or "running down").
So far when I've turned on the BOE board its wearing I get the green light and excellent results from it. It's been going and going for the past 19 days now, having arrived here with that one and its friends then, on 1/22/2014.
Would one of you who's more accustomed to using these packs please advise me as to how long the whole business will stay fully charged before I need to recharge the whole business?
As for a location on this forum, I chose here, since its not really device related.
As for an appropriate charger, read a wall wart, I've since managed to track down three appropriate ones, plus an appropriate cable.

I think this is in the correct forum.
I think the main problem is your question about how long it will stay charged doesn't provide enough information to expect much of an answer. The packs can probably stay charged anywhere from a few hours to a few months depending one how you're using it.
