iPaq 4150 battery keeps draining

For the last few days the battery on my 4150 keeps draining down. I fully charge it in the morning, use it for 10 minutes during the day and switch it off (no bt or wlan lights flashing) and in the morning it's as flat as a pancake. Am I doing something wrong or is the battery faulty?

Do you have reminders or alarms set? If not it sounds like the battery is failing.

I have tons of alarms & reminders but I thought that the whole ipaq was powered down when I turned it off. I'll make sure that all processes are off when I shut down.

Thanks!

The iPAQ is still powered on even when you turn it off as there is no physical power on/off button, it operates like a standby mode on your TV. I scanned over that link you posted and there are a few options there. Not sure which will apply to you but one guy mentioned resetting the iPAQ at night which you could try. Clear your reminders etc first though.

I wasn't aware of that - I'm sure that will have been to problem.

Thanks!
