I used to charge it every monday so once a week. But since i have a bt headset and access to gprs i charge my phone every two days. They really drain your battery. But se uses advanced li-poly accus so they need almost on maintenance.

Well, that aint true. A battery WILL loosen its quality if you do not drain it all out like once every now and then. NiCH, or lithium...

I charge it every 4 days. I make about 3-4 phonecalls a day, send about 30 sms a day and use my BT headset about 1,5 hour a day in the car. On occasion I wap over GPRS to Esato and some other sites.

It's always completely empty when I charge it. Some people say that polymer batteries don't have the "memory effect" if you don't drain them, but still, I don't take the risk. New batteries r expensive...

The battery life of the T68i is not amazing, but it's fair considering the size and the features u can use. And it charges really fast!!

How long do we all leave our phones on the charge? I put mine on at night and when i wake up it is fully charged, so I have no idea how long it takes to charge, should I just do it at work for as long as it needs? 3-4 hrs???

hello,

i charge the battery every 5, 6 or even 7 days, i try to charge it when it´s drain. i think i´m using my phone less than you.

to charge a battery completely drain you need 2 hours.

just to let you guys know, somewhere i read on a battery manufacturers website, it said that lithium polimer, it is best to leave these with full hcrage when evrey possible, they are not like ni hm therefore they do not need to be dischaged , infact it is bad for the lithim polimer to drain it

the thing with the lition battery is that has a specific number of charges for life, i think that is around 300 charges.

so if you leave it to almost drain it will last longer, its live will be longer.

but the truth is that its bad to drain the litium battery completly (the phone goes off) so i charge the battery when the flash green light on the top of the phone goes red

I now use my phone as an alarm in the morning so it's on 24/7 and I still get at least 3days to a charge. I generaly use 200 mins a month but have just started bluejacking so I expect that to go down to 1 or 2 days per charge

Why doesn't everyone post the following, then we'll get an idea of what is best for the battery?? I've only just got mine so I've got nowt to post yet!

1:How long you've had the phone

2:How much you use it

3:How often you charge it

4:How long it lasts on a full charge (both what it claims and what it actually does!)
