Hmm. Everything I've ever read says that maximum output is 5-watts. I'm
not saying that's right, but that has been a constant.

At 5 watts your battery would last about 5 minutes, if that.

My Nokia 6820 will give 7 hours talk time and 10 days just switched on
off a tiny battery. There's no way it's even 1 watt transmit, let alone
5 (at least under normal circumstances).
