    Mobile Phones And Their Shit Battery Life

    In spite of technology moving on, is it just me, or do batteries on phones last fuck all time these days.

    Anticipating I would be arsed one day over the bank holiday weekend to take my Sony Ericsson K700i to get fixed as the joystick is fucked, I stuck my simcard in my old Nokia somthing-or-other on Friday.

    Although not actually my phone but same type and colour, the battery is still going (4 days on) and is still half-full!!! I can barely get 48 hours out of the Sony.

    I dunno whether I'm more gutted about carting about (and getting out) such a shit phone or secretly I'm grinning because I don't have to charge the bastard up coz I'm a lazy twat!

    edit: bollox, meant to post this in the techy bit and i can't delete or move it... bri, rob :p lol

    I've got a T630 and I can get the thing to last all week without recharging. It gets an absolute hammering too, I'm never off the bloody thing...

    My nokia 6230i has canny pap battery life, reason being is not letting the battery run fully down before charging it again, also not charging it for full 16hrs when you first get it, this is the case with most phones that have pap battery life

    That nokia doesnt need to use anywhere near as much power as most of the newer phones as it doesn't the features to drain the battery, ie, a camera, bluetooth, mp3 player etc etc.

    To be fair though look at all the stuff your battery has got to run now, video, 2 mega pixels camera colour tft, mp3s, fucking shit loads.

    Also remmeber only charge your phone when the battery goes dead otherwise it fuckes the battery and the standby time gets shorter and shorter everytime you charge it.

    when you first get the phone are you not supposed to run the battery right down to nothing a few times, im sure i read somewhere that the phone battery has a memory ????????

    It's the memory effect, happens with older Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) batteries.

    Basically, if the battery hasn't been fully discharged (say it had a third left) and you charge it, you'll only ever be able to use the two thirds because you haven't flattened it all.

    I don't think it has the same effect with Li-On (Lithium Ion) batteries, most laptops and quite a few phones use them now instead.
