Default Jornada battery life

Have had one for a year - battery life is awful. Even if you turn off Infra Red receive and anything else that could be using power, the main and backup batteries will be flat within 7-14 days of keeping the machine switched off! Even overnight it drains power. Have just added a pocket keyboard, which of course makes it worse. No wonder there is a socket to plug into the mains through the keyboard.

Spoke to HP in the UK who claim not to know of any problems - but several salesmen I know of are only too well aware there are problems.

Also have a 568 which suffers none of the problems above, so there must be some power drain while the 928 is turned off.
