the batt of a new fone reaches the max standby time between the second week and second month. always charge the fone in off mode, drain the batt once in a month ( or every second month ).

Charge the batt till it's full, no more nor less. @Boba for a k700 battery it's not good to drain it since it's li-pol. When you get in red zone you can freely plug it in charger.

Depends on what you're doing too. Don't expect the battery to last too long if your listening to music while taking pictures with the flash on.

Flashes are infamous for battery drainage. My sis drained my battery with a half hour flurry of flash photography.
