I really can't get what u mean with tip number 1??? can u tell me about that..

It means to not let your battery run out all the charge power.

tip 1 -never drain the battery
tip 2 -if the handsfree is not recognised ,try cleaning the metal tips on the handsfree

Why for tip #1? I thought it's best to charge it when the battery has only like under 10% or something. Of course, if the battery is like dead, then that's not good.

Yeah, I don't understand it either.. I've already read lots of articles on battery but I never know which one is best to do. They all say different things. I just don't really care much about it, I'll just charge it whenever the battery icon turns to red or if it's starting to get very low and I'll need to go out and need the phone with me. I just don't worry much about it.

I read quite a lot articles about battery too and it made me even more confused! I have no idea which is best way to keep battery to have longer lifespan.

I guess with older NiMH batteries you have to power cycle it to sorta get rid of the "memory effect" but Li-Ion batteries don't have the same memory effect problem however, they have something called "virtual memory effect".

Starting with a battery's manufacture at the factory, lithium ions oxidize in the battery, shortening its life. After a certain amount of time, the battery exhibits slightly different electronic properties, which the device can only detect when the battery is discharged.

This type of problem is known as a "virtual memory effect" and occurs when your battery meter can show a high charge, then suddenly drop to low charge when the battery is almost dead. Every thirty cumulative cycles, you should discharge lithium ion batteries until the phone gives a low battery warning, then recharge it. If you discharge lithium ion batteries to zero voltage, the internal safety circuit may open. In that case, a normal charger will be inadequate. Reconditioning ensures that the battery meter on a lithium ion cellphone is accurate (although it will not affect actual battery capacity).

Of course if the internal safety circuit fails then when you power cycle your battery thats probably why it ends up killing your cell phone battery (Li-Ion). Li-Ion battery's worst enemy is heat. When you plug your phone in to fully charge the battery after it's completely drained of power it usually pushes a lot more voltage across the cables to charge the battery and that type of heat usually shortens the life of a Li-Ion battery. So thats probably why you don't want to fully drain your battery in your phone; just when you get a chance charge it up or throw it on a charging dock. This is the only logical reasoning that I can come up with on why you shouldn't drain your phone battery. Other than that, I'm completely out of ideas.

ok i should give my 2 cents on this battery thing

it is recommended for LIion batteries to be fully discharged at least once a month - depending on usage- to maintain its health ..... but inevitably it will die or at least gives u a lot less time.... to i recommend buying a new 1 after 12 months of using the phone ..... which will not be that expensive if u buy it once a year. .... but make sure its official Sony or any other top brands ,,, i know a lot of cheap brands that offer shitty batteries thats gonna mess up ur phone

cheers, pauleece

tip3: do not make hols to the "fat" Li-On bateries.it will explose-i have bad experience about.
