Thanks for your reply!

Ordered a cradle/battery charger (I already have 3 batteries). If it works, I may get the extended battery to counter for any long periods of usage if this never resolves itself.

I may also go ahead & throw in a new ROM. Been wanting to see if I can shim TouchFlo onto his device for a while anyway. Maybe now's the time to give it some attention. I'll definitely check what's cooking here if I go that route.
