Have you applied the fake server trick? If not, that's why your battery is draining so fast. I can point you to it if you haven't.

Well I found much to my dismay, that I could almost watch the battery metter go down from the power drain. In a 40 min lecture I might take 10 rows of notes and my battery dropped 15-25%. So play that out over an hour and thats around 30-40% drain. That seems way excessive to me. When I run iSilo and read a book, I can read for an hour and the battery might go down 5%. No other programs were running in the background, no activesync, wifi, BT, or anything else. Which is the same way I run iSilo. Both MS Notes, and iSilo run at the 204mhz level on my Ax. What could be causing such a huge drain in MS Notes? Now lets assume I'm going to need a second battery. I searched ebay and found tons of replacement batteries at 1000mah. Isn't my standard one from Dell 1100mah? Why the descripancy? Where is a good spot to pick up a battery that will fit the standard case. I don't want to replace all of my cases for extended battery cases. Thanks again for all your help.
