I assume you have
a) turned AutoDock off (not sure what this is as I don't have an eMate)
b) turned "Receive beams automatically" off
as has already been pointed out by others on the list. Both will drain
the batteries even if the eMate seems to be off.

Not sure I understand this. Do you mean that after being reset it works
without having to charge before? In that case I'd think it's not the battery
cells.

As you seem to have more than one eMate, I'd try the battery in another
eMate.
If it's ok there, it can't be the battery.
If you want to compare the battery's performance against that of one of your
other batteries using the same machine both times, I can send you the late
beta
version of BattLog. It's not finished yet, but it should be ok for what you
need.
