The light should stop blinking. I've had some sporadic charging blink issues on the 38xx units, but never on the 19xx units myself. A soft-reset usually clears it up on my 3870.

so if ipaq i charged, the led is not blink, then battery is not charging, just ipaq is connect to ac/usb and thats it,
no overcharging

I only use the cradle for ROM updates, and transfering music to my PDA, I use BT to sync also.

Question, is the unit supposed to charge for about a min, after a soft reset while the power connector is attached? I use an iPAQ 22xx

answer: if your battery is full and you soft reset yes, a think system is cheking level of charge,
in my 3835 and 1940 is sometime even longer

so if I unplug at this point the battery is still completly charged and not at 99.995% ?

What's the difference?

A battery is a complex chemical reaction, and it's unlikely you're going to get the exact same capacity, down to microvolt, every time. Most modern batteries are amazingly accurate, but there's always a slight fudge factor involved -- if for no other reason, to avoid overcharging, which is dangerous for Li-Ion batteries.

And if every time you plug it into the charger, it only charges halfway, it'll never be fully charged!!! 8O 8O 8O


...sorry... :silly:

I just wanted to know if it was "done charging" or if the soft-reset actuly uses the battery and not the AC power

When I post while sleepy sometimes it doesn't come out right.

Well, Pocket PCs "run" through their battery, even if they're plugged into a charger. If you take out the battery and leave the AC connected, the Pocket PC will not turn on. So, it's "always" using the battery; whether or not it continues to charge during a soft reset is something I don't have an answer to, and I'm not sure it makes a huge difference one way or the other.
