Cell phone question... How long does your cell phone battery last...
... after you fully charge it?


The reason I ask is that my new cell phone (and battery) does not last anywhere near as long as my old cell phone and battery when fully charged.


Peace,

1. 2-3 days, I suppose - I don't use my phone much; not sure if that has anything to do with it

3. Depends on how long I talk...which I avoid at all costs...so it lasts quite a while.

5. Give it awhile. My battery lasted about a day or two when I first got it,
but after about 1-2 weeks, it started holding a charge for 5-7 days or more depending on how much I use it. It's lithium ion, so they generally need some 'breaking in' time.

6. It depends on how much I use the phone
If I talk on it a lot, it lasts maybe a day.... hard to say, because I haven't let it run all the way down very often. I'm on vacation now, and have been for 3 weeks without a charger, and it's still going. Now, I've probably had it turned off for days at a time on this vacation, and I've probably only talked on it for a total of an hour, so I'm not too surprised.

7. Two or three days
I keep it on all the time, though I rarely use it for its intended purpose. On the other hand, I use it a lot as a calendar, alarm clock, camera, appointment book, address book etc. I sure get my money's worth out of this handy gadget!

9. A week maybe, but that's primarily just texting, not a lot of talking.

10. My battery and phone are really old
It doesn't last more than a few hours out of the charger, which isn't an entirely bad thing since it gives me a good excuse as to why I avoid answering the phone. :)
