Hi,

bought my P800 2nd hand but was of a mate so was in good condition. However the last few days found the battery quite poor, lasting only about a day on average use, but i do speak about 1-2 hours a day ...

is that about right or is the battery on its way out ?

i've seen batteries on ebay BST15 Li-Polymer 3.6v, 1260mAh Battery, brand new and sealed it says... this is better than my current battery which i think is only 1000mah.

these are about £5-£10 which seems very cheap...

are these fakes or something ? worth getting from a proper shop which seem to be close to £40 ?

Also are the dual chargers any good ?

Thanks again

1. The dual charger I have is not a rapid charger and therefore it takes about 6 hrs to fully charge my P900 battery

2. You probably know that apps and memory resident apps (e.g. Tracker) will use your battery life quickly

3. Ensure GPRS is not set to be on all the time, again this will drain the battery as will BT

4. I use a P800 battery in my P900 and I get nearly 2 days use but I don't make a lot of calls but I do use it to read eBooks and PIM functions

thanks for the reply...

how do i turn of GPRS exactly as i NEVER use it (too expensive!!)

might just get another battery soon then, as its unlikely i'll never need the dual charger...

Go to Control Panel->Connections (tab)->Internet Acconts->Other (tab) and then select "GSM only" in the Preferred mode pull down listbox. I assume that right now, the value is "Automatic"
