i just barely picked one up. With the original battery at the end of the day would be like 1/2 way gone, with this new 2200 mAh battery I barely get past the first bar of power in one day

2200 mah battery DOA - twice?
I'm interested in knowing what types of battery you all are using. I've gone through two now, both bought off of ebay (don't know the brand??), have charged them for a full 24 hours before first use, and neither one does a damn thing. The battery that came with my x51v works fine, but I use the unit a lot and find it drains before the end of the day. Can anyone pass along a brand of battery, and maybe the place to buy, that you have tested and KNOW works? Has anyone else had such bad luck with batteries from ebay?

I also second the 2200 battery. I can travel all day on one charge. It works great.

Does the Dell 2200 mAh battery add to the thickness of the X51?

I agree. 2200 is well worth it. It does protrude, but I found a case to fit. I get nearly four hours.... go for it, IMHO.

I find that 2,200 mAh batteries are fine. As I live in the UK I bought mine from 7dayshop.com for £7.95 (about US$15), like PsionAndy a d Alba Joe. I was so pleased with it that I bought a second one.

I got a Sena extended battery case for it and with this case you can sync and charge the battery in the cradle without removing the PDA from the case. Very convenient!

I think that if you go for a larger battery than the 2,200 it increases the thicknes of the Axim so much that it will not fit in the cradle at all.
