I am about to purchase a BIO and I'm leaning towards the Keeler Vantage Plus LED. Does anybody have any input about the LED compared to the Xenon bulb?
Check out this website before you buy:

I heard of at least one optometry school that ordered the BIO with LED and after the instructor saw the color differences, he demanded that Keeler exchange them for regular Xenon bulbs.
Plus they are dang bright as a patient!

It's funny you should mention this b/c I just did that last week in clinic. I didn't think it was a big dealmy bio battery lasts for like a month or two. It wasn't a problem though...the battery died towards the end of my first exam, so I plugged it in right away to finish that exam. All I had to do was rotate the exam chair a little bit. The bio was fully charged by the time I was done with my second one, haha. Usually I catch that it's low and charge it overnight, so it's rarely a problem....do you really want to perform BIO plugged into a wall? that's far worse than the M-pack!
