[Q] battery charging advice

---

Going to get my Arc on Monday, but I have some concerns about battery life

I see it uses LiPol battery - I searched through multiple formus, but I couldn't find proper advice :

- how to charge/format LiPol battery to get most out of it ?

Should I charge it for 8 hours first 4-5 cycles, or how to format LiPol ?

For Li-Polymor, just charge till full. But make sure to charge it before it falls below 10% - 20%. Charge it often (daily) for the first week. I find that doing so, improve the battery's hold on a charge.

Sony Ericsson's batteries are already charged and ready to be used.. so no need to do 8 hours first, but as darkmax1974 said, keep charging it regularly and don't let it go below 10%

amen. letting it die completely has a negative effect on the longevity

ok, I won't charge it for 12hrs for the first time, like I used to do with new phones
