Hey everyone, if I leave my K750i turned off (partly charged) for about 2 months, what would happen to the battery? Would it still be as good as it was before? Would its efficiency decrease? Thanks in advance. |

Why would you do that?
Dont take my word for it but I dont think it would do anything to it. It will probably discharge some in 2 months but it will still work the same as always. |

Well my school took me phone until the end of my school year  so I was just wondering if anything would happen to it. If anybody thinks otherwise (that something might happen to the battery), please let me know. |

Well, if you were my kid I would march down to the school and demand they give it back. No school has the right to take your private property away from you. Sure, they can take it away for the day - if it disrupts class or it is against the schools rules - but that's as far as it goes. They are not a law enforcement agency - demand it back or go them for theft! |

Well the only reason school's steal the phone is that they are afraid of a repeat of the World Famous DPS Sex MMS..!
The schools should allow cellphones..However during school hours it should be OFF and No Pics allowed in School...lol!
There are times when a parent needs to talk to his child, But that could be done after school's over or when they have Break...! If its real urgent then they call always call the Pricipal and get the message across..!
But When did School Authorities turn Pratical from Moral Policing..!

Li-po cells does not self discharge as much as nicd or nimh, however the buildt in charger might drain the battery if left alone for longer periods... how long I do not know.
best way to store these cells are halv charged, in a cool place.
(also this first 24 or 48 hour charge is bogus with lithium cells... not needed here only on the old nicd and nimh.)
I fly model airplanes powerd by simmular cells, imagine connecting 40pcs K750 batterys togeather.... then you are pretty careful handling them the right way as it is quite alot of money.

Well, you see the school's rules say that I have to give my phone to the supervisor and take it back at the end of the day, or else they take it until the end of the year. I never handed it to him (what for!?!) and look what happened.. even my mom tried to take it back (stating that it was hers) but that took me nowhere  Well lets get back to the topic, the battery ? |

I don't think that the battery will be damaged. I have had my good old T68 put away for 2-3 months and nothing happened to it.
However I would go to the police and demand the phone back. Those actions that school performed, according to your description, can't be legitimate. I might be wrong though... |

Holy shiv, @karimz, you're not making this up are you. What country do you come from? It's plain robbery. Bring in the police then move to another school! Unless all schools in your area have that same draconian rule, and parents/students are required to sign an agreement!
That's the real issue, not the K750 battery. Just my opinion though. |

Go straight to the police and report the phone as stolen and name the teacher. It is theft - plain and simple. Even if they will give it back there is still your contract committments and devaluation - this is money (stolen) straight out of your pocket. If they are going to hold the phone perhaps they should take over the payments. Perhaps they can also take on the legal responsibilty when you are in an emergency after school and can not contact anyone because your phone has been stolen! Even if the school made you sign a contract they have no right to take any of your property - I'd like to see a lawyers stance on the contract. Better still, next time you see a teachers phone take it. |

Why did the school take your phone away from you anyway?
