The battery problem you see with the 48sx is very similar to the problems
which I delt with when using a 41CX, expecially when using NiCad batteries.
The reason, the machine is CMOS based and they change the clock rate from
sitting still to working hard.  CMOS changes its power consumption when
it is clocked at a different rate.
