Battery forming

[ama95]

I've heard that when you buy new phone you have to do a battery forming (First 3 times you have to charge your phone turned-off for 14 h). Is this true? I didn't done this with my K750i.

Red the following, esp. sections on Li-Ion batteries and section titled "Preparing new lithium-ion for use". Make sure you read part 2 as well.

do not do this.
2 to 3 hours is enough.

u can do it
the user manual says that it wont overcharge
so u r good both ways

:pmaximum 4 hrs is more than sufficient, though the phone says battery is fully charged after one hour, later resort to 2 hours if the battery is fully dead, this way u will enhance battery life. don't overcharge by putting battery to charge during going to sleep in night.:D

when battery is full then phone cut's the curent-so its useless to leave phone connected to the charger.

ok... hm... then is it better to leave the phone TURN-OFF for charging?

cuz i have been charging my phone TURNED ON (even overnight) for almost 2 yrs already. And the battery is still in good shape. Well when i charge it said "Optimized Charging"...
