HIya,

ive had mine for about 2 months, you cant "over charge" a battery as it stops charging (gives you a beep) once its full. Otherwise the battery would explode! lol

from empty mine takes about 3 hrs to charge fully and lasts about 2 days.

I usually give it a little charge every night, keep it topped up etc

AND keep a spare as sometimes the battery can drain, gps, wifi etc so best to be safe, Its like a little computer with windows, very clever

but very complicated and sometimes crashes lol

Thanks for your feedback.Actually i charged it today but never heared a beep voice when it go full. Could you tell me how to make my mobile beep when it is fully charged?

Furthermore, since i know my laptop battery was over charged over the years now it hardly keeps the laptop on more then 10 mins !! So i was thinking mobile battery might act same way if i forget to unplug the charger when the battery is fully charged!! I hope you guys explain to me if this is true or not.Thanks

I have mine in charger evry night , it have be on for about 8 months (only have turn off 2-3times at that time) and it take about halfhour when the "beep" comes and say its full.
Non of all my phones have be overcharge it stop charge when its full and u dont need to take away the charger.
If u use GPS put it on carcharger , if u have a chans to charge , just do it.

I have not hier about overcharged mobilebatterys. maybee I have wrong ? but it have not happend to me.

You'll barely hear the beep, it's the same as the one you will get when you switch off the phone.

I'm sure the battery will be fine, just let it fully decharge now and again and you should be alright x

Actually no, avoid full discharge of the battery as this might damage it beyond repair. Try to charge it not later than the first "Battery Low" beep and try never to let it completely drain until the phone shuts off. It will require a huge initial power surge to start charging it and this is what could damage the circuitry in the battery, plus most non-original chargers or even original car chargers might not manage to do it from totally empty.

The days of the Ni-Cd batteries with the "memory effect" are long gone, no need to fully discharge in order to maintain the battery's capacity at maximum.

It takes about roughly 2hrs to fully charge my N95-2 when battery is emptied but it rarely happens. I often let the phone charge at home or the office, I do not wait for the "Battery low" warning or even get the battery level to 1.

My phone(I dont have a spare battery) is more than a year old and I have not experienced any problem with it.

takes me a couple of hours to fully charge when the battery has one bar

usually around 45 minutes though, always try to keep it charged up

mine can last like 2 or 3 days though with minimal use

I normally put my phone for recharge everyday in the morning when I get up and its topped up by the time I get ready for office. Have been doing it for almost a year now, and have never faced any problem,
