Battery Life

[bartito]

Hi,
In theory, the life of a ILithium battery is 300 or 325 charges.
I use my Athena for navigate, play music, make phone calls and send/receive emails (via pushemail).
I charge my battery all the nigths.
Is normal the compsumition of my battery?
i need to demand a battery to the noel?
I doubt?

I own 4 Windows Mobile PPC's going back at least 8 years. ALL are still functioning on their original batteries. But, just to be safe, I am going to ask the Wise Men to bring me an extra battery for my Advantage for next year. I'm afraid that the Ameo/Advantage is not going to be very popular in the USA and is likely to be discontinued next year.

mine used to be 2~3 days using radio 1.42, I also was using the wired headset instead of bluetooth, I made around 700 mins of calls per month and surfed the internet alot also used satnav most days.

Now I get 1 day, using radio 1.5 plus I started using my bluetooth headset at the same time as switching to 1.5 plus I now make 900 mins of calls per month, still use sat nav lots and browse the internet lots !

When im using it during the week it can be less than one day if streaming music over bluetooth (always on) and browsing web via HSDPA / 3G but at weekends it lasts from saturday morning to sunday evening and battery is normally still @ bout 90% and thats with BT on as well never use wifi if using gps it gets charged, the only way to increase battery is to turn the screen brightness right down to 1st marker (not the 0 one butt above that)

If I dont browse or take any calls all day, it will still be @90 percent after 16 hours. Decent browsing and phone useage it will be @40 percent after 16 hours.
