Thanks for the informative answer PocketBrain. I've been edified.

One question that wasn't touched upon was the situation where the OEM Dell battery being drained excessively fast when hooked up to a battery extender.

I think the answer to this was in that massive sticky in one of the forums ... but it went something like this:

when the voltage of the battery extender drops to a certain threshold (i'm guessing less than the OEM Dell internal voltage?) then the Dell battery may actually begin reverse charging the extender so that the Dell battery will drain like mad.

That's why people will report that they turn on their Axim and have "0" battery charge left after thinking that it should be 100% after being hooked up to an extender. That actually happened to me once.

Is this correct? Or something like that?

Thanks PB.
