T68 Lithium Ion Battery Problem |

Hi, this is my first post in this SE forum. I've just gotten myself a 2nd hand T68i (upgraded from T68m) which uses the Black (rubber cover) Lithium Ion Battery.
I always thought that Lithium Ion will not suffer any memory loss as Nimh but looks like I'm having that problem with this battery that came with the T68. After a full charge, the phone works pretty well with the right indication. But somehow after it reaches 50%, it will immediately jump to Low Battery status. Is there a way to solve this? Right now this battery could only last me 1 and 1/2 days.
My older (2002) T39m's Lithium Ion is still working perfectly fine and it even lasts for 3-4 days of average usage.
Thanks! |

sounds like the battery is nearing the end of its life and needs to be replaced. lithium polymer batteries do not suffer from memory effects. |

On the label of the BST-14, its printed BKB 193 150/75 R3A and

Wow, that means that your battery was made on the 52. week in 2001, almost 3,5 years old. No wonder its going to die. Sorry, u have to get a new one, but actually u should keep this as backup.

Thanks for the information!
Since it could last for a full day, I'm still keeping this. Gonna get myself a replacement battery. Hopefully with the rubber back. |
