Sounds like a duff battery. You don't say how old it is.

I have a 2 year old Axim X5 and the battery stays at 100% for days if not used, and even stays at 100% for the first couple of hours of use. I get between 10 and probably 20 hours of use from a single charge and usually let it drop to 10% before charging. After 2 years I have not noticed any appreciable drop in battery performance.

Leaving apps running when you switch off the PPC won't accelerate battery drain - they just stop (freeze) and battery power is used solely to maintain the memory.
