Razr V3: Battery Issues

I purchased a Motorola Razr V3 as an equipment upgrade from Cingular
Wireless yesterday. I got it charged completely and took it off the charger
this morning and went on to work. Battery level stayed at the top level all
day long. I got home from work (9 hours after I took it off the charger) and
it was at 50%. I ate dinner (rather late), around 13 hours after I took it
off the charger this morning, and it was beeping at me... said low battery.

I plugged in the charger and it's charging now. It's been charging for about
2 hours and is still only on the 2nd bar (of 3) for charging. Every so
often, the flashing "green" battery with bars in it will turn into a
flashing solid red battery... and then goes away.

I can find nothing in the manual about this "red" battery. Is this a battery
issue? or a phone issue? Do I need to replace either one of them (under
warranty of course).

Thanks for any input!

Tim

The red battery icon is just telling you that the battery need
charging, some new phones come with a completely drained battery s
some extra charging cycles may be needed to fully condition you
battery.

You may also want to check and see if the battery is making ful
contact and that it's sitting properly on the phone, take it out an
reinstall just to make sure, also make sure that your charger i
plugged all the way into your phone.

The battery charging icon will take some time for it to show thre
bars, just give your phone time to charge and it will get there, if yo
see that your standby time does not improve within a few days o
charging cycles then have your phone checked out

I think Motorola had a bad batch of Batteries. Mine, New, had only about
6 hours of standby life, and the phone exhibited all kinds of strange
behavior. I took it back and they replaced the battery and the problems
went away. Well, mostly. A week later they had to reflash the phone
because of corruption. Since then, no issues.
