Maurice, As long as you have a backup... it doesn't matter :) If you have an SD card, I would advise a full backup of all files using Filez! or somesuch, as Hotsync does not save everything (such as unsaved preferences). In the long term, a new battery might be in order. Three years is an acceptable life for a rechargeable battery, and it sounds like yours is nearing the end of its useful life. You might try a few deep-discharge cycles to see if that improves matters. Alternatively, you might consider a replacement battery - surplus computer is flogging them for $18.99 with free ground shipping in the US. http://tinyurl.com/c9vzw Stephen -----Original Message----- Hi everyone, My TT batteries are dying. When I first got it 3 years ago, the unit could easily run for a week or two without recharging (depending on usage). Now they barely make it thru a coupe of days before showing 1/2 the charge is gone. I will be away on holidays for 3+ weeks as of this Thursday and I wonder what's best: -Do a full backup, let the unit stand (the batteries will no doubt be fully discharged when I return), then recharge and restore; or -Put the unit in the craddle and keep it charged until I return.
