cell phone batteries

[zathrus]

i'm so bored that this is all that i can find to talk about. i've had my cell phone for little over a year. The battery will not stay charged no matter what I do. does anyone else have this problem? i think i will have to get a new battery and charger, but the both cost so much.

Zathrus-

Rechargable batteries (Ni-Cad, NiMH and LI-ion) all have a finite number of recharges that they will do. Ni-Cad batteries are also said to suffer from what is called "memory effect" and this can reduce the capacity of the battery if it is regularly recharged without draining it fully. You may have to purchase a new battery, but you shouldn't need a new charger.

If you get a new one, make sure that your phone supports the charging of that type of battery (some phones will only charge Ni-Cad or NiMH) before purchasing it.

You may as well get a charger you can plug into your cigarette lighter in your car. That way you can charge your phone and have it ready when you get to wherever you're going.

It is my understanding that old nickle cadmium batteries had big problems with diminished charge capacity lcaused by recharging w/o first discharging the battery, but that this is no longer as serious a problem.

Most cell phone batteries are now made from nickel and metal hydride which does not sufffer the memory effect. It can be recharged about 500-600 times before you have to replace it.

Recently the lithium batteries have become more popular. They don't suffer any memory effect and weighs less than the nickel metal hydrides.

Also, you shouldn't charge your phone too long. Take the cell off the home charger as soon as it is fully charged or else you can damage the battery. Most people who have this problem leave their phone on the charger while the sleep 6-8 hours, while 3 is the usual limit.

They say that you should fully charge your cellular when YOU first purchase it before you turn it on.. for some reason if you don't, you will always have a half-dead battery.. hopefully you did this.. if not, just get a new battery and charge til completion
:)

P.S. I got a Motorola T720.. thinking of sending it back for something less pricey
