I get the unit back.

Hi, Matthew. I just got mine back today; so we will see how it goes.
I do think the MPower drains faster than does the classic bn. When I
got mine this morning, I was at 58 percent. I did a restore and
deleted a few files. I connected active sync to make sure it worked
again as I had to reinstall windows and now, I am at 53 percent.

Hi Paul. It is to know that I am not the only one with this
problem. I just thought I should speakup since this thread has
been going on for some time.

I was told it was the software that caused the battery problem. I
don't see how that could be unless the early units went out with a
lower build number. Mine should be back tomorrow, so we'll see.
I would have thought it would have been a board issue as well.

Well I just though I should put my two sence in. I had to send
my unit in now three times before they figured out that it was
the mother boarsd. So It is on its way back to california as I
respond. I ha the same problem with my battery and so when I get
it back It is going to have the new motherboard if I remember. I
just hope it aklkl goes well over there.

Jean. You really should get at least ten before you get a
battery low message.
If your unit is dying at 27 percent, something is wrong. Of
course, you could try calibrating the battery to see if this
fixes the problem, but you shouldn't have to calibrate a new
battery. They are supposed to be calibrated before they leave the factory.
I'd be talking to humanware on this one. Twenty-seven percent
doesn't seem right.
After writing this, however, I also need to say one more thing.
If you are using anything like a wireless card, the internal
modem, bluetooth or the USB ports, it won't be that odd to have
the unit go flat at 27 percent. What you want to do is to charge
the unit all the way up to 100 percent. Then just read, or type,
or edit. Whatever. Just don't use any devices that draw power.
See if you then get to ten percent before you get the battery low message.
If you do, everything is fine. Using wireless does drain the
unit pretty quickly and you might get the warning at 27 percent
or even higher, depending on how much you used your wireless
card and for how long.
But if you are playing with wireless, etc, 27 percent sounds reasonable.
