Battery no longer charging

aximluvah · 02-28-05, 10:42 AM

My reserve is at 100% and despite being fully charged my ax loses 1% power every second. Has anyone else experienced this, I am so disappointed, I had my ax a little over 2 years...I really don't want to buy a replacement battery for a 2 year old machine, but I might have no choice

ya i hear that the batteries only last 2 years from manufacture date. that same thing happened to my laptop...i have to run it on AC power now, cuz i can't find a replacement battery. it says fully charged, but if i try to start it up, it goes into standby half-way through.

sorry

p.s. --> try ebay...you might be able to get a cheap battery (just make sure that the manufacture date is less than 2 years ago...new in package doesn't mean it will work...

here's a search i did: http://search.ebay.com/dell-axim-x5-...fkrZ1QQfromZR8

hope that helps...

Thanks, that was my next stop, I just wanted to see if others had the same problem. The link was very helpful I found a replacement (with a 1 year warranty) thanks again!!!
