I am recharging once every 2 or 3 days at the moment, but I dont use it very much. Also I charge it at night while it is still on - is this bad at all?

My phone is always on, and I charge it like every 2-4 day...depends on how much I have been talking, and using the bluetooth/gprs connection. So it can vary ALOT!

I also recharge after 3 days when the red battery indicator lights up. It's bad daw to drain it. Is it true?

Every once and a while you should empty the battery for all its energy. Think its around 1 time a month. That is to keep the living length up.

Well I guess it is time for me to do that then!!!

On a side note, I have a 8855 as well, and regardless of what I do with it I have to charge ot EVERY NIGHT when I am using it.

Probably because of bad charging habits from earlier times, or there could be some corruption on the poles...try cleaning the poles with some booze

I charge every day as I am not interested in seeing how long I can get my battery to last only to find that when I need it for a higher than usual talk time that it runs out.

Anyway, the charger is in my bedroom so I just plonk it on there as I go to bed.

Lithium-Ion batteries don't have the same problems that Nicad and NiMH batteries had and on the odd occassion when I don't charge it I find I get around the same life that I got a year ago.

The battery in my T68 is awesome. I think I charge mine every 4th day even though extensive talking and bluetooth use.
