Getting The most out of your bettery...

[Lubaxe]

What should i do, ie. Turn off, set, turn on... to get the most out of my dell battery. Im running battery pack, and under my battery it says that i only have 2 and half hour of time remaingin on a fully charged battery.

please help

It says that, but try draining the battery all the way down(30%) a couple of times and it will catch on. Also, backlight really lowers battery time.

Yeah the battery indicator in Pocket Plus never has a good estimation of time either. You can get a good 6+ hours of mp3 playing out of an Axim, I would bet you could get a week of light to medium use out of it if you had to. But it's best for the battery NOT to let it get drained too much; 30% isn't too bad but it was recommended not to let it get below 20% if you can help it, deep discharges shorten the life of LiIon batteries.
