iPAQ h5400 Series Battery Advisory Posted

Are you having battery drain problems on your iPAQ 5450 when swapping batteries? If so, check this advisory out for workarounds.
"The iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 Series may rapidly consume battery power after removing and replacing the battery pack. When your battery pack is removed from the device, the unit will enter a 'memory retention' mode and draw power from the bridge battery to keep data and programs in RAM. When you reconnect a battery to the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 Series, the device will remain in 'memory retention' mode, yet the power consumption will be from the main battery at a high rate. If this situation is experienced, a fully charged (100%) battery may completely drain within 48 hours, resulting in an untimely loss of your data and programs stored in RAM."
