Yes, the Li-Poly does not to be conditioned.
I have experienced the same rapid drain once in a while. Sometimes I think the GPRS hangs and this causes the drain. Either that or I am just brain dead and not hitting "end call".
I do think the GPRS hangs, possibly if I have closed the flip and not closed out the built in browser...
Interesting to see what pops up on this thread.

Well the only easy way to find out how much CPU power background applications use would be a CPU-meter.
I had one in my Ericsson MC218 (same as Psion 5 series) by default, I wonder why there isn't one for the P800... |

After noticing really bad battery life I did a test this morning.
Bottom line, starting at 100% at 9:45, by 2:45 its at 35%.
...meaning about 7.5 hours of time...and I made (1) five-minute phone call, and played with it about another 5 minutes other than that. It sat by itself most of the time.
This is obviously unacceptable. Any suggestions? |

One thing that uses power, is GPRS. If you turn it off in the settings (so that you don't see a blue triangle by the reception-meter), it will automatically start when you start your browser.
I don't know if this saves battery, but it might. |

Hi all,
This is my experience with P800 battery; I always full charge the battery and keep using it until completely empty then charges it again.
Who is said that discharging a Li-Polymer does more harm than good?!!
My P800 battery stay up for 3 days (btw my battery level now is 11% and the last full charge was at Friday 9th at 1.30am and today is Monday 12th 9.00am …. So what do you think ??) some times when I make a long calls daily (70 or 80 minutes) the battery stays for 2 days.
so you have to full discharge the battary then charge it again (completely) to get the max performance of the battary.
