expected battery life - 8520 Curve
Greetings -
I've owned my 8520 Curve for ~20 months. Original battery. In the past week, battery life has degenerated markedly. Lucky to eke out a day with minimal use. Previously, charging every two days ('average' use) to five days (minimal use) was the norm. Battery pulled out & re-inserted. WiFi off, only the standard 5 apps running. Deleted FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn. Do batteries degenerate that quickly? And, if so, is there a recommended vendor from whom to obtain a bona fide replacement? (It seems that there are many counterfeits on Amazon.) Thanks, - Richard |
Re: expected battery life - 8520 Curve
If you let it rundown below 20% on a consistent basis, yes, it can cause it to fail. There are only so many cycles a battery can take. Your problems sounds like a bad/dieing battery.
You may also just have too many apps running in the background, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, a map app, etc. Check our FAQ for an article on how to maximize battery life. As for a vendor, go to your T-mo store and get a genuine OEM replacement for your exact device. |

Amazon it is. Maybe it'll last the 6 weeks 'til I can switch devices. |
