But I'd sure go for this with my Clie SJ30 if there is a way. I did learn that by doing a soft reset _while_charging_ the power manager for the PDA gets reset, and that DID make a significant difference in the battery life, for a few weeks -- but now it's fading out again in three hours or so even with greatest care dimming down.

I do have one of those 6-AA external cases for it and that's ok, but I'd love to have a better battery than what I can find online.

(Online - either direct replacements for the original, or what might be slightly better or just overrated -- I think the original was 550 ma and the replacement I bought claimed 800 ma, but it didn't seem to last any longer.

At least the battery IS replaceable. If I can just find one.
