My former T\|T didn't lose its data but I feel a bit unsecure with my new iPAQ 'casue I don't know yet how it works... Could I rest in peace or not about this matter?! :fro:

In general, it's a good idea to keep Pocket PCs charged, not only to prevent data loss, but because Li-Ion batteries hate deep discharges. --janak

And when you say "then some" you're talking about how long time? If you guess...

The info on that slide represents hrs that the PDA will "standby" without relying on the backup battery. So it goes up to 96hrs if you are that worried. After that i think you have another 24hrs with the backup battery (or maybe that's 10mins)
