I've got an ipaq 3600.. and the battery life seems pretty sub par.. on a full charge, if I put on some mp3s I get a battery low warning after 3 or 4 songs. This happens even if i turn the backlight off etc. Is this normal?

Hi
How old is the 3600

Hi
the older one's had problems with the Batt also
some of the newer ones also like the 37xx and even the 38xx
you could sent it back to Compaq/HP
to replace it. Not sure how much it would cost.
I am sure it does not cost as much in the US as it would
here in Ireland or the UK.
I hope you get it sorted

well i'm reselling it on ebay anyway. I'm in canada and it's not really worth it for me to order a new battery with exhange and shipping and all. I've called Compaq about it, but they charge $30 (cdn) just for shipping and to have a tech look at it.

They're selling replacement iPaq batteries for about $160.00 CDN.
And no, I'm not affiliated with them.
