The battery life of the iPAQ Pocket PC is up to 12 hours of constant use in the Power Save mode. The life is determined using a standard test required by Microsoft for Pocket PC certification. Actual battery life will vary considerably depending on the backlight setting, settings of alarms and warnings, use of the Media Player, or expansion pack usage. For example, using Super Bright at all times will affect battery life dramatically. Super Bright is the default when docked and on AC power, but should be used infrequently while mobile.
