There are when you paraphrase it like that.
He said remain far away. In other words in general you should be fine, but keep a charger handy for any overnight type trips.
I've had a 1520 for months now, and as I said earlier the only times I haven't made it through a full 24 hour period are when I do hours long gaming sessions.
As an example. This whole cconversation I have been using my cell data on my phone as I'm currently traveling right now on a bus. I go through a ton of low signal areas and I've been gaming and reading a book and writing here for the last couple hours.
I still have over 90% left after almost 3 hours unplugged. My consumption rate is under 4% per hour according to my battery monitoring app, and that's with the max amount of background tasks running.
I'm guessing we are not going to agree, but I wanted to post this more for others so they don't cone away with a negative impression based on an interpretation of what Daniel said that's not quite accurate.
I will also find a day this weekend to do all sorts of battery life benchmarks and post my results here in this thread.
