Perhaps, although the 38xx iPAQs' battery monitors were better than most (1% increments, has special readouts from the battery, etc.) 2 years does sound like close to the limit, Godsongz. I wouldn't be surprised if the battery is simply aging. A typical Li-Ion or Li-Poly battery is designed for 500-1000 charge cycles, after which the capacity steadily drops.
