Battery uncertainty?

---

To all with your new toy, the beautiful Raphael. Ive got a couple of battery related question. Does the battery run out quickly? how long would a full charge last you and what type of usage are we talking about. I know its still early days and testing hasnt really been done, but my touch pro battery uncertainty is the only thing holding me back from breaking the bank.
Cheers

I'm getting about 2 days out of mine with light usage and push email enabled during business hours.

The user interface is a bit of a learning curve - may need tweaking a bit once the chefs get cooking!!!

From experience, it takes several charge / discharge cycles before you get the max out of a battery, even with Li Ion, however not as bad as the old NICAD's !

I am charging it throughout business day (day 3 now) with the USB cable whilst connected using Active Sync. This seems a slower charge as you would expect and by the time I leave the office it is fully charged. I have only charged it once from AC power and that was when I first got it.

I will charge it from the AC again over the weekend without any intermittent USB charge and let you know next week how well the battery lasts!

USB charging will be slower - generally the max current from a USB hub is 500mA shared between each USB port. he mains power supply is rated at 1A.

Have you noticed the illuminated HTC log on the power supply?

Yes how cool is that! First thing I checked, because when charging it from AC and phone not switched on, I couldn't tell whether it was charging and then noticed the White Logo! Then later noticed the dial on the phone swirling round as well!

Mine doesn't seem to be lasting very long, I only got it about this time yesterday. I fully charged it before I even switched it on, by about 11PM last night I was getting battery low warnings, Charged it overnight and I was getting battery low warnings by about 12:30 this afternoon again It's now having its third charge in 24 hours!!!

Maybe I'm just using the damn thing too much!
