IPaq Battery

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi guys,

My IAPQ 5455 is starting to do funny things, on the usb charge it says
chgarging light flashes as usual but the charge meter dosn't go up.

Left it one mains charge over night, light is no lit to show full charge but
the meter is still reading 33%

Any ideas on what is going on, what can i do to fix it?

Damian

Some IPAQ's seem to do this after they have fully
discharged at least a few times (completley drained) many
times replacing the battery fixes this problem because of
the electronics in the battery seem to be confused. You
could of course try what the person above said, but I'd
reccommend also turning the power off on the pc during
charging to prevent a trickle drain.

Good Luck!
