Backup Low Battery Warnings. Suggested fixes:
The X5 DOES have a removable backup battery. It is NOT rechargable. (Howard2k, 12/16/03)
Recommend charging your main battery, then doing a soft reset to get a reliable back up battery reading (uzziah0, 11/6/03)
Recommend a replacement on the one-year anniversary (kind of like replacing the battery in you smoke alarm at home). (uzziah0, 11/6/03)
… bad contact in the battery compartment. Wedge a little piece of cardboard in there to keep the contacts on the battery solid. (Suemccartin, 11/7/03)
Keep your skin oils off the batter. (Suemccartin, 11/7/03)
The backup doesn't recharge and will run down with time - maybe just because of the metering done by the Axim. (ikehiker, 11/4/03)
The battery meter is not as accurate as perhaps it should be. (Howard2k, 10/16/03)
The voltage reported from a battery is also affected by environmental conditions such as temperature etc. (Howard2k, 10/16/03)
Try another battery. (Suemccartin, 11/27/03)
Try bending the contacts up a bit and be sure to clean your skin oils off the battery before you put it back in. (Suemccartin, 11/27/03)
Sounds like a poor battery compartment design or just a flukey voltage detecting circuit (Suemccartin, 11/27/03)
Apparantly it was a software problem and they (Dell) made me upgrade my rom and it's worked fine from there on. (3X10^8, 11/29/03)
Bending the battery prongs restored the reading from low to 100%. I've had to do this twice in a 6 month period. (JIM GRAY, 12/2/03)
The Dell circuit is notoriously inaccurate. It is very sensitive to voltages below 3.00. (JakeRich, 12/16/03)
Try a soft reset to see if that doesn't pop the backup battery report back to 100%.(JakeRich, 12/16/03)
Until the backup gets down to about 40% and stays there it's not something to worry about (JakeRich, 12/16/03)
