Hi, Mark.

>I knew that there would be some battery loss due to the suspended state but i also have a dell axim and over the same period it used about 15%, sorry i should have included that in the original post. when comparing the two it leads to me think that either there is something wrong with the iPAQ or the axim is miles ahead in design, and i don't think it that.

Hmmmm... Any information about the batteries on the manuals you can compare?

I really don't know. Maybe the Axim has other kind of battery technology.

If you find smoething out, let me know. It is an interesting issue.

Best luck,
