[q] i'm battery murderer

[Tuskuno]

So here's what happened:

I just got my hTC HD7, it had some juice alredy so I played around with it, when the battery got empty, I charged it. But my plug has a on/off switcher. I tripped over it and turned it off. This was the first time I charged the phone. What shall I do? I put the phone back in the box. Shall I get a new battery or charge the phone again? HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!

Just leave it to charge? Accidentally turning off the charger while the phone is charging doesn't do it any damage. I knock the plug loose all the time.

A full charge for the first time can be interruped without issue, lithium-ion batterys do not carry a charge memory unlike older handsets where you did have to give a full charge from the outset.

To get the best life from your battery or spares try to do the following:

Try to keep the handset out of any heated environment (eg; a car on a sunny day with windows closed) as this could stress the battery and decrease the charge life.
Do not use another charger that could stress the battery with over voltage (keeping it plugged in after full charge with the regular charger will not affect the battery) the battery will degrage however if it were allowed to exceed the 4.20V/cell limit.
If storing a spare battery for an extended period of time it is recommended that the charge level is around 40% for optimum lifespan.

Hope this helps,

was gonna start a new thread but this is a little related.

I am now seeing a good amount of 1500mAh batteries on ebay(link below), any thoughts?

first off, thanks for that helpful tip on saving batter power. i just have a question concerning the above mentioned (quote) do computer/laptop usb ports supply the same voltage as the charger that came along with the phone? will it hurt the stock battery if i always use the laptop usb port to charge my phone?

thanks in advance

the first one seems to be the same as the stock battery but the second will surely get you through a day without charging with all phone features on(data,wifi as in everything) or a whole day of heavy calling and sms. but if there are only a select features turned on or on stand by mode roughly it will last you two - two and a half.

Seriously, c´mon guys, if the battery dies, just replace it, charge the battery how you want (partial charge is better for Li-based batteries than a full charge), also, HD7 stops charging the battery once it reaches maximum charge level, so if you keep it on charger, green LED will be on, but no charging is done, this is to prevent stressing the cells (cells are most stressed when on full charge and fully discharged). So no worries here .
