For the past week or so, I have taken it out of its case and there is no power. I mean dead to the point that it will not turn on. I'll charge it up for about 30 min. and then it works fine.

Mine is synced with my calendar at theoffice so there are a lot of reminders that are set. I think that when the notifications go off, the Axim is not set to turn off in a resonable amount of time and that is whatis draining the battery.

I've checked all of the power settings and notification settings to make sure that it will turn off, but I am still encountering the same problem. A Dead Dell.

Any suggestions???
I encountered this one morning...took it out of the case...nothing. Swapped in my spare main battery, bingo...no problem. SO the main battery was dead.

I had a similar problem with the stock case and my old EM-500. Turns out that case was a bit snug and would push down the D-pad. Thus, when the EM-500 woke up at midnight (like all PPC's do) to reset the alarms it would not shut off due to the button being pressed down. I think the stock case for the Axim may have done the same thing to me...except I think it may be touching the screen or pressing the D-pad. Anyway, now I always keep my Axim out of the case overnight and have yet to wake up to a dead battery.
