How do I charge my Pocket PC's Backup Battery?

Question

I have a Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC. I keep getting a message that says "Backup Battery Very Low -- To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your battery according to the owner's manual." When I check my Power it says that my Backup battery is at 0%. I'm not certain how that happened. But, I would like to charge it if possible. I checked my Dell Axim X5 User's Guide and other papers I got with it and it only tells me how to charge the Main Battery and not the backup battery. Is it possible to charge it or do I have to buy another? The words on the backup battery read as: maxell CR2032 3V Hitachi Maxell, Ltd. Japan. I've tried just plugging in the PC like I would to charge the main battery but, the backup battery won't charge at all like that. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The backup battery on my Axim X30 charges on its own when the main battery charges. I would suggest getting a new backup battery. The 2032 is a common battery found at any department store. Look in the Photo Lab or Electronics depts.
