You can charge it for 4 hours if you really want to use your phone, actaully I think that you can charge it until its completly charged. Than you can charge it longer overnight.
The batteries used on T68 are made of Li-Pol and are not built like the old Ni-Cd that builded up sort of a memory, if you charged it to often without having the battery clompletly empty, you decreased the stand by and talktime on the phone.
But thats not a problem with new Lithium batteries!

i think its a misprint... all batteries, no matter what they are made of need to be run in....
the 16 hour first charge is ment to fully charge the battry, the battery them remembers how much power is in a fully charged battery.
and hence after a few charges you can charge it anything you feel like, as the battery knows how much power it can store, and how much its got in.
the older battries and the ones on budget phones dont have this abbility.

Im quiet sure that there is no such thing as a "memory" in the newer ones!!
With old Ni-Cd yes but not with newer ones such as Li-Pol.
But this is my thoughts about this matter!

I've been meaning to ask, is it safe for us to charge our battery overnight everynight?
I mean, I charge my battery overnight, use it the whole day and then charge it again overnight for the next day's use. Is that safe or should I just use the battery till it's almost out and then recharge?

My opinion is that you can charge it whenever you wants to.
Its good to turn off the phones once in a while, because the phones needs to be "reset"- just turn it off wait a few seconds then turn it on.
If you has a computer on for a very long time it can get slow and start acting a bit weird.

No I dont believe theres no need to worry. The batteries will sure not be "worn out" any earlier then the ones charged 16h or even more!!

Well, that's good news then. Charging it every night is convenient for me. But sometimes, I let it run for a couple of days before recharging the battery.
It isn't that bad, I can keep it without recharging for bout 3-4 days [and i do make a lot of calls]

Has anyone notice that the battery recharge time is getting quicker but the standby time is slightly worse each time. Is this a problem with all rechargable batteries?
