Ohhh... in the settings, there is a way to configure iPAQs on how long you
want them on standby... which is more like hybernate...when the power goes
way too low.

If you set it to the maximum... the cutoff will be done earlier and you will
notice that you have less tim to use it... but the good part is that the
remainisg charge will be good for a longer length of time and should last
you until you get to a power supply/charger.
