Check the no-load voltage from the wall wart before hooking it up! Some of
them soar when connected to light (under rated) load.
Your experience is typical. The Paragon CPU draws a lot of current.

After about a week of on-off operating, I'm down to 1 days life on my
memory. I have a wall wart with a 9 volt connector on it and I guess I'll
plug that in in place of the battery and leave it plugged in 24-7 rather
than having my TT supply on 24-7. Did TT build such a large flaw into the
rig? Is this the only solution? I don't have the voice board which I
understand eats batteries.
