stevenrp is correct about the backup battery.

It's main purpose is to hold data when swapping out main battery.

Dell rates the 1440mAh battery at 8-10 hours.

The CR-2032 backup battery is rated at a nominal 220mAh.

If the main battery goes completely dead, that leaves only about 80-90 minutes that the backup battery can hold the data.

I do the same thing that ikehiker suggests: disable the program buttons.

I still find my Axim turned on occasionaly when removed from the case. The power button gets pressed somehow.

Just one of the occupational hazards of using a soft case.

I.ve gotten myself into the habit of checking every couple of hours to make sure the thing hasn't powered on.
