turning off 3g and just using gsm would greatly extend your battery life. i have a w850i and p990i, if am not using 3g for internet browsing, i just turn off the 3g setting and my w850i would last for about 4 days from 2 (with 3g on) and my p990i would last me about a week from 3days (with 3g on). for p990i disabling the wlan if you are not using wifi would also help extend battery life. |

Good information, very important as well. My P800 had the same battery for 4 years and it became so swollen that the back cover did not fit properly. Very lucky that it did not explode! You should just check the battery to see that it is the normal shape once in a while. |

perfectly safe. In the old days with nicad and early nimh batteries, they suffered memory affect if frequently charged up without running them flat first. Current mobiles use Lithium Polymer batteries - Lithium (li-po) don't suffer memory affect, so you can charge them whenever you like without causing memory affect.

Caring for your battery is very much important. From my motorolla phone manual it says that you can not overcharge your phone. If it is like this, when does the concept of charging a new batery for extended hours come into play. One other thing are these new fake batries that have floded the market. How do we cater for them. You can give them all the attention and care, but they will not respond positively for dn extended period of time. What then can we do with that?
the concept of long charging for a new battery IMHO is obsolete due to newer phones having smarter chargers to prevent overcharging, anyway most batteries are li-po/li-ion nowadays. Older ni-cad etc. batteries needed conditioning with long first charges/discharges.
As with cheap fake batteries, skip them completely. It's like buying a fake rolex, looks good, looks real but in the end it just breaks down and surface finish fades too fast and rusts  plus, fake batteries are more likely to leak and cannot hold charge well. Pamper your phone with REAL batteries!

Also, go for official batteries. Sometimes, the battery level is not read properly by the phone so it always stays at 10% even when full leading to over-charging etc. Had this problem with my Pxxx phones. |
