v300 Battery Life?

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

Hello all,
I recently recieved a new v300 to replace an older phone that bit the dust.

I charged the new battery for over 8 hours, but this phone doesn't hold a
charge for more than 30 minutes or so before completely dying. When I insert
the same battery into my wife's phone, the charge holds for a day or more.
When I use my wife's battery, the phone again only has a small amount of
battery life, so it leads me to believe the phone is the culprit.

Is there some setting I need to change, or is it possible this phone is
defective? Thanks for your help,

TG

I had a bit of lint from my pocket in the charger connection on the
bottom of my Motorola V60. It seemed to be charging, and just had no
battery life. Eventually it stopped charging altogether.
