Hi all,
I have just received my phone.
The manual says that I need to charge it for 16 hours, my problem is that I'm in the office now, so I'll be here only for 8 hours, yes of course I can do it at home but then again I won't be at home for 16 hours aghhh
Could I charge it hear for 8 hours, not use it, go home and charge it for 8 more?
Would it affect the battery life?
Thanks |

I wouldnt worry I think you'll find after about 2-3 hours the charging indicator will stop anyway so 8 hours will be more than sufficient. I think 16 hours is way over the top in IMHO. I didnt charge mine for that long and it hasnt affected its memory/times. |

My instruction manual says 4 hours for the first charge, and then it should take at maximum 2 hours foor every charge after that.
Currently takes 1h30mins to charge fully, and get between 3 and 5 days out of it depending on useage.

If you charge it, it will automatically stop charging when the battery is full... I didn't charge it for 16 hours and mine lasts for about 6 days...so  |
