So, once again. How long should I charge my brand new SE T68i battery, if it's the first time? I read in the manual, that 4 hours is enough... is it??

@za brat: i guess u should charge it until the phone stops charging(2 or more hours).This is NOT important!What's important is that ur battery will get better on holding charges after u use it 4 a few weeks.Something more:the charger stops when the battery is full as the phone software controls the charging time:) So, use ur phone and tell us soon, if after 10-12 charges ur phone holds more than at the begining:)hope this helps

Good info on battery charging
Just like to add that don't be surprised if if your Li-ion battery lasts longer during talk time than the Li-poly; Li-ion battery's due to its chemical nature (apart being heavier) work better under "normal" usage conditions i.e, talk time, whilst the Li-poly is lasts longer under low-power situations, i.e whilst on standby. |

Compaq's white paper on iPAQ battery care also says this. So I guess this is what I'll follow, and top my battery whenever I can. |

Like i said earlier, it depends on your type of usage.
If you are a heavy usage, go with the Li-ion, if you don't use your phone that often go with a Li-po.
By "using" I mean talking, accessing WAP, etc. |

The ONLY advantage of the li-Polimer battery is that this one is thiner and lighter! Th 'polimer' technology means a new way to manufacture the Li-ion battery! And of course, the disadvantage is that u have less cycles of charges thus lasting less time.
So, if u like it lighter get this one..if not, the regular Li-Ion is the mainstream:)
