relax fluff geesus, I looked into this and have some points

They have no memory effect, which means that you do not have to completely discharge them before recharging.

If you completely discharge a lithium-ion battery, it is ruined.

I think your confused with the "no memory affect" that these batteries have!

maybe you should google it seeing as you have no idea!

Also u are partially correct.

The lithium batteries can not be fully drained .. the phone has a sensor and turns the phone off at 95% empty

It is set at the 95%... if u always put the phone on charge at 85% capacity the it will have a tendency to sense that your not using the full battery and move the turn off point to say 85% empty.

Therefore now rendering that 15% of your battery useless.....

That's why if you exercise the entire battery for the first few times it senses the turn off point to stay at 95% keeping your entire battery running at its maximum efficiency ....

Any more science than that and my brain will hurt lol

yer no need to get worked up over it.

owning many smart phones doesnt make you extra knowledgeable about them though.

I honestly think no one gives a sh*t about the battery when buying a phone.

Also when u work Ian major company and receive up to 3 long conference calls a day as well as countless calls from staff and internet requirements all on top of being out in the field for work and not havi.ng a vast amount of time in one place to change your phone.....

Yes a battery life is a very important element for some of us.

Gents - its all good.

I know how the batteries work, while im a IT nerd, I have actually studied electronics as well (even if I try to appear like a dumb bum often).

The discharge/recharge or recycle upon initial usage has been performed.

For anyone with a smart phone you may also wish to look at an app that will clear the memory on the 'handset' which is cached to better manage the power saving function on the handsets. This can also be done via the download menu within the android OS (if the option is enabled - normally requires a cracked bootloader).

My concern is that I trash my phones - bluetooth, wifi, FB updates, email, sync, etc all running most of the day. (Obviously turning the BT and Wifi off when not needed)... However between writing sms's to mates, a few calls, FB'ing when out (enough said when Grey Goose and Belvidere is involved lol), and email, the thing when from 60% to near dead in around 2-3 hrs...

Just doing a full charge now, before heading out tonight and will give it another spin!!!

Let you know how it goes tomorrow I guess...

:thumbsup:
