Last night, in about six hours of no active use, the standard battery in my 680 went from 100% to 35%. I did not use the phone, BT and IR were both off. I turned it on briefly a few times to check the time, and each time I did, my cellular signal strength was good.
When I got home, I turned off the cellular and plugged it in to charge overnight. When I got up ~8 hours later, the LED was green, and the reported battery level was 100%. I unplugged it, and it immediately dropped to 91%! This battery has been fine for the past week that I've been using it. It is the stock battery that came with my Treo, but I've been using the Seidio extended-life stock-fit battery since it became available, until last week, because this same thing, though not +that+ bad, was happening and slowly getting worse. I thought it was the battery itself. Now, since the same thing appears to be happening with a different battery, I'm not so sure. Is there anything that can monitor not only the charge state of the battery, but what's drawing the power? -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol Peter's Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord, #27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.
