My first Axim had a similar problem, my battery level would vary between 100% and 0% with constant 'low battery' warnings on start up. I tried rom updates, cleaning and bending contacts, new batteries and padding the cover, nothing worked long term. One Dell rep told me to ignore it, I insisted on a replacement and got one, the new one has been flawless, level stays at 100%
The back-up battery is not rechargable, it is only used when the main battery is completely discharged. The Axim uses power even when turned off, so when the mains run down the back-up takes over but only for a short period of time.
80%-100% variation in my opinion is nothing to worry about, if it starts dropping below 60%, replace the battery, if it still continues replace the Axim.
