The consensus is that T|E has a notoriously short battery life. One common
tip is to adjust the brightness down. There are battery packs available for
emergency charges, etc. And you can use the device while it's charging,
which helps in synching and some other tinkering.

This may have some useful info:

Try in-cradle reset. Just stab him in the back while charging.

Hard reset. Push power + stab in the back. When you release the power
button, he asks if you want to clear all data. If yes, push UP.
