I've got a T68i, with the standard white battery. I use my phone everyday. I charge the phone every night before I goto bed, and I just leave it charging for the 6-8 hours. Most of the time, the charging process starts at half-full tank. I found the battery life is quite impressive, as I tried heavy using it for 4 days, and it still gave me1 hr talk time on the 4th day.

I have revived 3 batteries (fault alarm cases). I found out that the culprit is not the battery faulty but the charging circuit gives fault alarm..
certain charging circuitry use some voltage reference to determine the state(Bad or good) of battery. if your battery voltage level is too low, it will trigger the protection circuit and refuse to charge. This happened to my T28 battery and motorola T191 battery.
What I did was...do manual slow charging with external power supply.
1) Use low current to slowly charge the battery to healthy discharged voltage level (layman -> 'flat' battery) so that the in-built charging circuitry in the HP can continue the charging function . It works for me
Fool proof method
Use +5V source with 100 Ohm resistor
Worst case charging current =50 mA, that is your battery is totally flat(0.2V ~ 0.3V)
Charge it for 15 min, measure the voltage level on the battery..if the voltage is increasing.(e.g 2.5V).your hope is there.., stop the charging, put your battery back to the phone and charge from phone. if the phone is still refuse to charge, repeat the manual charging till the voltage level reaches 3.1V then switch to use the phone to charge the battery..if the phone still refuse to do so...then good luck
Battery or phone charging circuitry dead.
2) Alternative easy way,with no resistor and meter available
Borrow your fren's fully charged up battery(same type)... do a direct connection..that is '+' to '+' and '-' to '-' connection..leave it there for 10 min.. use your hand to feel it..if the problematic battery warm up,yap it receives charges
Now put it back to your phone..and charge it from there...
NiMH has more problems because it uses a series of cells to make up of the package battery(you open your battery up, you will see it)..
e.g 3.6V NiMh battery =3 units of 1.2V cells, if either one cell some how trap in low voltage state, your appliance will declare faulty battery.. in fact, if you could isolate the battery and rescue the cell ..then your battery still can be used for many more cycle before it is totally malfunction.
Have fun...

I've stopped worrying or thinking about battery life & its talk/standby time for now. Just move on and charge it as you use it until the phone/battery dies one day; perhaps at that time there'll be more high tech products then to choose from. --just a thought.

What's so confusing? It's pretty simple - if you've got a Li Ion/Li poly type battery, just don't let it drain too often and your battery will last longer.
You'll make your battery happier if you keep it charged up
