Well, the broken battery lead was a factory made setup, they put the plug at the end of a 8" lead. Every time I hit a bump, it bounced up and down. Lasted a couple of years before breaking at the edge of a solder joint. I have tried the "always on" audio, with a good dead zone.........not for me, soon became meaningless background noise. Once found myself thermalling up a storm in sink! The thing was babbling up a storm, I was happy, it was happy, what the hell?
