I have a Pismo that has similar problems. I think in my case it's a dead battery (from full charge I may get 15 minutes of use and then the PB goes to sleep and can only be "awaken" if the power cord is hooked up).
At this point I don't trust it and only run t off the power supply. I have a new battery on order and I'm hoping this will solve these issues. Any tips on reconditioning the old battery? I've read many suggestions on how you can "revive" old Li-Ion PB batteries but nothing seems to work for me.

Marcin, Had the same problems with an older PB (400 MHz) and when I replaced the battery (it was a tad loose and it would not hold a charge) all of the problems seemed to vanish - even sudden shutoffs when I would move around with the PB open. My guess here, and it is only a SWAG is that your battery contacts are no quite snug enough and your PB is complaining about this. Keep us posted as to the solution.
