G10 specification on the web is already changed to "6 hours of playing time on a single charge". ("Up to 8 hours of playing time per charge" in the attached manual ) It means 20% or more operating time reduction. Some players may see this spec. change as problem. But, personally I don't mind so much as amateur player. It depend on one's exception for G10. YAMAHA may provide some remedy for this gap, I think. As a reference estimation, life time of G10 may be extended. Generally, battery capacity decrease the more we use it. Firmware update must limit battery's full charge level lower than previous. Such change bring play time decrease, off course. But It also introduce slower degradation rate, fortunately. It may be good news for light user like me. (But it will be not good for all user) Anyway, YAMAHA would better think about supplying multiple choice according to user's situation.

US CPSC also announced. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2020/yamaha-recalls-digital-wireless-equipment-for-electric-guitars-due-to-fire-and-injury EU RAPEX not yet untill week11 report. https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/consumers_safety/safety_products/rapex/alerts/repository/content/pages/rapex/index_en.htm In Japan, YAMAHA has not announced safety alart or re-call. https://line6.jp/ Only software up-date announce. (not safety information) I think that over heating of batteries comes from poor charging controller. But I can't understand why YAMAMA refund "USB charging cable" also? When charging via "USB charging cable", G10T have to controll chargig by G10T itself. To charge G10T safety, G10T may need some controll by G10/G10S. Is it mean charging G10T stand alone via "USB charging cable" is not safe?
