My K750i's battery died a few days ago, so I went to the SE service and they gave me a new one (Warranty) 2 days later the battery they gave me (full at the time) is empty and ready for charging. But again it seems the battery died, Im now suspecting its the charger that wont charge it, because no way two full batteries died.

Any suggestions or similar experiences?

Since it happened twice, it's either the charger itself (bring it into the service centre with you) or it could be the charging components in the phone and the phone needs to get replaced.

Bring your charger and phone and test it there and then. One question, why didn't you charge the new battery as soon as you got it, since it was new?

It was full, and I prefer the full empty full charge technique, usually prelongs battery life.

The phone maintains at 0. So I believe its the phone not the charger. It stays on, when its on the charger but goes off when removed.

I believe its the phone because 2 dead batteries in a row cant be a coincidence

Im guessing the phones connector to the battery isnt working so all the charger does is fuel the phone. And doesnt charge the battery.

is it true that Animated themes consumes a lot of battery standby time?

Just thought you should know, you shouldn't use the Full-empty-full charge technique with Lithium batteries as they are designed to be more efficient when you don't let them drain completely.

A drained Li battery is only a problem if it stays drained for longer periods (several months or so). Otherwise its not at problem at all.
