V600 battery life

Posted: 02-10-2005, 12:03 AM
My V600 is about seven months old. Suddenly, the battery is going almost
totally dead in 2 - 3 days, and that's with almost no use. I've checked
that Blue Tooth is not enabled. What else could cause this..?

Batteries age. Expect no more than a year of good service. New ones can
be bought on ebay for under $10 now so it's not so bad having to replace
them and keeping a spare.

I would reccomend buying the OEM battery, they just work better.

Sorry, but Lithium batteries don't age like that..! Seven months..?

My SprintPCS phones gave us more than five years of use before the
batteries started going south.

I'm just stating what's been my experience. With every Motorola phone
I've had since the Startac, I've had to replace the battery after about
a year. That may be uncharacteristic for LiON batteries but it is,
nonetheless, my experience. I do agree that 7 months is not normal but
he may ave had a bad one - maybe it's still under warranty.

that date.
