poor battery life on CLIE 610C

[mickprue]

I am having to charge up my CLIE 610C every other day. Can't tell if it is a bad battery or if there are reminders or applications keeping the unit on and draining the battery.
Anyone out there see anything similar and where should I start looking??
If it is the battery, how can I get a replacement.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

I have herd that if you use reminders and do not answer them they can drain your battery. For example you have a reminder set to sound for fives minutes for every three minutes and you have your auto sutoff set for 3 minutes as well. Well that means that your clie is sitting on for quite a while if you din't answer it. Hope this helps, if not you might want t get a program that can give you a voltage reading on your battery.

You may also want to check how bright you have your screen set at, that will cause a quicker battery drain, so I've discovered.
