How to Recharge the Battery on a Dell Axim

The approximate battery life on your pocket PC is four to eight hours. If you are experiencing a low battery problem on your Dell Axim or see a "Backup Battery Low" reminder on your hand-held screen, it’s time to recharge the battery. Read on to learn how to recharge the battery on a Dell Axim.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• USB cradle
• Dell Axim

1. Ensure that you have saved all important information on your Dell Axim. If necessary, you can synchronize the hand-held with your personal computer to back-up the data.

2. Locate your AC adapter and USB cradle.

3. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.

4. Connect the adapter plug to the AC connector on the USB cradle.

5. Plug the USB connector cable on the cradle to its corresponding port on your computer.

6. Place the Axim on its USB cradle. Make sure the power indicator lights up to indicate that your Axim is charging.

7. Allow the hand-held to charge until the battery indicator is full.

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.
