I got a new extended bat as a Christmas present (obliged my hubby to get me one) and now I'm taking extra precautions on making its life longer and not end up like my previous battery (r.i.p.)....
I'm monitoring it every now and then and it far exceeds my expectations. Imagine, I only charge once a week! That's for a normal use but sometimes, I have to charge twice a week coz of heavy wi-fi usage.
Anyway, here are my findings upon close monitoring:
15 minutes of wi-fi usage with update for Newsbreak, WeatherWatcher and Yahoo Go, together with surfing via Opera. Battery Consumption -- 5%
1 hour of watching video with TCMP -- 10%
30 minutes of playing music via Windows Media Player - 5%
15 minute call - 1%
30 minutes of playing Text Twist - 3%
So far, that's what I have. What are your observations in your battery? I never checked with my old battery so I'm not sure if the consumption is due to the bat or the phone..
Anyway, if there's a previous topic like this, please merge with that (i searched and found no exact same topic).
P.S. Just wanted to do a positive feedback / ad for MDA Pro UK. Great service. Great place to buy stuff for our phone. :)
