Hi Les, I've spoken extensively about this on the list before, so I won't say too much this time. But, suffice to say, that I've had the same problems with my battery as you. Now, my PK is great with the battery, and gives plenty of warning of being low, even with wireless and CF cards. But, with the mPower, should you get the battery low warning, don't wait for the battery critical message; but, rather, better get the unit plugged in right away, if yours is anything like mine, anyway. For, if you don't, then the unit will kind of hard reset itself, and thus cause you to have to re-establish your ActiveSync partnership to get the wireless ActiveSync to work again. And, then, too, you very possibly may not have alarms that have been set in the planner go off as they should. Mine missed an appointment yesterday. But, in trying to experiment and all, I did a repair of the planner using the keyplan maintenance utility, the first time since my last mPower hard reset, and now all my alarms for the appointments seem to be going off at their correct times. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Les Kriegler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 6:32 AM Subject: [Braillenote] Battery Problem
Hi All, Recently, my battery level was at 38% and then suddenly dropped to 8% with a battery low message. So I calibrated the battery and all went back to normal. Now, this morning, I started at a level of 60% and went on-line wirelessly. Within 10 minutes, I received a low battery message, and when checking battery level, it showed a reading of 8%. I checked the battery gauge and it shows as being accurate. I'm running an mPower with KS 7. Has anybody experienced this battery behavior? Is there something I can do about this inaccurate reading, or is this a known issue? Thanks for any assistance.
