Yes! theres a way on how to prevent damaging your battery.

If ur battery is Ni-Mh:

a) If ur battery is Ni-Mh, drain it first before u charge it.

b) Dont use ur phone while charging.

c) Avoid using different chargers, if u r using slow charger
dont use fast charger it will damage ur battery. and f
r using Fast charger, just vice versa.

d) B careful, if u r using car charger, make sure u charge it
low bat/drain or else it will ruin ur batery coz its output is
7-8volts(more or less) and its not advisable to use a quick
charger coz it will decrease the life span of ur battery.

If u r battery is Li-on:

a) Avoid overcharging it coz its very sensitive. It will affect
its standby time and its life span.

b) Avoid draining the battery coz its not advisable.



Hope it helps u my friend!!!!

i have always left my 8210's Li Ion battery until the phone switches itself off, is this wrong then?, if so when should i begin recharging it as soon as battery low is displayed? or even sooner than that?.

Cheers,
Ry

rpalmer it is ok to recharge your phone until it turn off as Yozhee say"If ur battery is Ni-Mh, drain it first before u change,Dont use ur phone while charging."

anyway thank you for your advice

where do you get draining a li-ion is bad from? Not draining it is even worse. I know for the li-ions on laptops, if you dont charge the new ones all the way up the first few times then 100% will be below the actual full charge and if you charge it from a certain point other than it draining, then 0 stays there. For instance my battery stays on on 0 for an hour because the idiot didnt charge it right.

I have this same problem with a laptop Li-Ion battery, its nearly new but when i first plug the laptop in the mains it charges for about a minute then thinks its full!, obviously i can't run the laptop on the battery with a minutes charge!.

Is there any way to reset this effect?, i've opened the battery pack up and there is a circuit board inside with a couple of chips on.

Any help with this is appreciated!, the cells can't have had it cos it isn't that old.
