Keeps up fine for ours - at least it doesn't let the phone go dead after a few hours.
I'm not looking for it to go up to 100% while using it, I'm looking for it to not go down to 1% while using AA.
No problems - so it doesn't fast charge. (my wife has a new Flip 4)
Took this pic for you...new interface...least cluttered I could get...

A lot better than what I was seeing a year ago. The left side had all of the stuff you couldn't get rid of.
Now if I could get rid of the line of stuff immediately below the map (the pause, etc) it would be better.
The thing I don't like about "maps" as opposed to waze - is it only lets you see what's 2 blocks ahead. You can't see 2 miles ahead or further. I may want to see "what's way out there". What's ahead of us like other exits, whatever. Showing where I'm at is useless, I know where I'm at and can look out the window to see stuff. Let me do a zoom out - and leave it zoomed out. My wife gets pissed at the built-in nav because she tries to do a zoom out to see way out around us - like if we take this exit, is there a town 2 miles down that road? And in a few seconds, it's back in close-up mode zoomed in to the immediate 50 feet and won't stay zoomed where we put it.
Would love to see a nav system stay in the mode we put it in, zoomed out or zoomed in (to see street names) instead of sling-shotting back to their "this is the level you SHOULD be looking at" phase. It's like Apple programs all mapping and nav - WE will decide what you see and how you see it, not YOU because you don't know how to view things but we do".
LOL - no, let me decide zoom level and what I see.

anyway, that's better but still not "tall" enough - make the icons along the bottom smaller when in nav or map view, get rid of the line with pause, FF, reverse, etc. - let me tap the screen to get the icons back. You can with a phone......
