I suggest having a look at

 grep 'present rate' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state

while running on batteries and check the values. Mine is at 10W
while idle. Since I have a T22 with a P3 mobile 900mhz the values will
differ.

This should give you a hint wether your device consumes to much or
the batteries are damaged.
