The first warning appeared on my Jornada 568 after 1hr 50min reading at 3/4 backlight. Is it something wrong with my battery :?:

Hello I have a Jornada 568 since 2 weeks, i've just made Five-Six charges, and i get 6h30 to 7h30 battery life, with 1/4 backlight (playing games, reading, writing etc...)

Nice battery life but two inconvenients (little) : the battery life fluctuate. sometimes 6h00, sometimes 7h00, once near 8h00 !
Secondly, the battery life visualisation is strange (i talk about the 100% -75%-50%-25%-0%)

usually :

100% to 75 % : 1h30
75% to 50% : 1h15
50% to 25% : 1h10
25% to 0% : 2h40
0% to countdown extinction : 1h

Very strange.

Using Uptime to track battery usage I get 4 - 4.5 hours of normal use on my 3835. That's backlight on and with 32 meg SD memory card and also some CF modem use. Just returned from 8 day trip out of country and was worried about loss of data because I'd forgotton to put IPAQ on charger before leaveing (did'nt take IPAQ with me) But all was well, was down to about 20% after setting unused and uncharged for 8 days. Not sure what charge was when I left.

I'm not sure if PPC has better management over power hungry components in the ipaq, but the 38xx series lasts longer because it does in fact have a new battery, which has been upgraded from 950ma to 1100ma i believe -
