T610 battery

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.ericsson (More info?)

Hi,

I've had my T610 about 6 motnsh now and was wondering how long I should
expect the battery to last. I charged my battery to full 2 days ago and
its already almost fully discharged - its only been like this for a week or
two. Should I go to Orange and ask for a new battery or is this the
expected life of the battery (btw I don't have bluetooth or anything
switched on and I havent made any use of the phone).

Thanks,

Joanne

If you genuinely have not used the phone, or just made a few short calls
then I would say there could well be a problem there. I would expect several
days more life out of a T610 except in special circumstances.

1) Make sure that the screen backlight switches off automatically
(Settings/Display/Light/=>Automatic)
2) I assume the battery is actually showing as fully charged on the screen
after charging?
3) If you are in an area with very low signal strength so the phone has to
keep searching, this can affect the battery time

thanks for your replys - I hope it was just a temporary glich. Yesterday it
was almost fully dicharged so I switched it off. About an hour later I
switched it back on again and the battery power was back to about 3/4. I
found this a bit strange as I've never had it falsly reporting what the
battery power was before.

Thanks,

Joanne
