i recently sent an email to the SE site, and they replied back with two sugestions for my battery:
-----------
Regarding your enquiry, here are two suggestions that might solve the problem:
Recondition the battery using the following instructions.
- Fully charge, then discharge the battery three times. This allows you to get
the maximum capacity of the battery.
- Clean off the contacts on the battery and on the back of the phone, with napkin
or a paper towel
----------
i want to know what does the 2nd one mean?? can someone explain more please.. thanks |

I think they're saying to clean the metal contacts - with some suitable cleaning fluid, to ensure you have good contact. You can buy "Contact Cleaner" specifically for the job. |

Well, in the UK, I would choose Maplin. You might be able to use other chemicals instead - such as WD40 (spray lubricant), or Turps/White Spirit (Paintbrush cleaner). Or maybe even a drop of petrol on a cotton bud.
If they contacts are shiny then you should be OK anyway. They'll only need cleaning if they're dull. |

you can use video head cleaner just make sure that any metal objects do not touch the contacts as you can short out the battery.
