Tips & Warnings

  • Maximize battery life by using a lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries have a longer battery capacity than conventional batteries, and they also have the added advantage of being able to be recharged before they are fully drained without affecting battery life.
  • The USB cradle of your Dell Axim also has a Battery Charging Slot so you can charge an extra battery, even while you’re charging the primary battery.
  • Be careful not to overcharge the battery. It can shorten the battery life.
