I did a battery test on my Axim X5 with a 3400 Mah battery. I tested using
Chessgenius with the program running 100% of the time. The Screen was left on
and CPU was running at 400 Mhz.

My Dell lasted 18 Hours and 10 Min before the power bar droped to 0%. My Dell
was still working but shut down had not happend as of yet.

At 12 hours run time Power level showed 54%. At 18 hours 10 mins Power level
showed 0%.
