The phone comes with a li-po battery,for the li-on battery i have read that the first charge should be 4-6 houers , anyone know how mouch is the recomended first charging time?
Also any battery tips like when its better to charge are really welcome
hey there im about get my first X5, could you tell me how you did your first charge! thinking of leaving it for 4-6hours before i use it!
Li-ion or li-po batteries don really care how they are charged. First charges etc. are remains when they used nicd/nimh batteries...
charge to full and youre done...

Hello,
What's the best method to recharge the TyTN so the battery takes longer to get addicted?
Waiting for the battery to get fully drained and the TyTN to shut down with no power, or recharge it when it notifies us of low battery (20%)?
I've heard both versions, so I was wandering what actually was the best method for a long battery life...
Thank you.
It's NEVER a good idea to completely drain a lithium ion battery. Doing so can actually shorten its life...
That's what i've read too. Constantly topping up the charge is meant to be the best way.
Lithium is best to constantly charge and not drain completely. That was good only fot the very old Nicd batteries.
So I should have it running on power adapter all the time when I have a power supply near is that it? Even if it's 90% or 80% battery full?
For my P900 every night I put it on charge, I never saw any detremental effect on the battery?!
I intend to charge my TyTN every night also

Yes, charge whenever / wherever you can... even if it's just for a few minutes...
But should I always charge the battery until full, or it's ok to charge just for a few minutes like said but not until 100%?
before everybody tells me the search function, I already have but I find mixed and contradiction answers on this issue. Some people say to do a full discharge followed by a full recharge as soon as you get the phone. Then on the other hand some people say that you shouldn't do this since the x1 uses a li-ion and its bad for it. Some people say you should charge it only when it's near empty, but on the other hand some people say to keep charging it as often as possible. Some say to take it off the charger once its fully charged, but then some say its ok to leave a fully charged battery on the charger.
As you can see, from searching the forum I've gotten pretty confused. so what is the PROPER way to charge our x1 battery? Is it also true that battery life gets better the more you put it on the charger? Does the x1i get better battery life than the x1a? I'm asking this because I'm gettin very poor battery life on my x1 compared to the 1-3 days of heavy usage that I see other people gettin on this forum. I'm going to exchange it today for a new one, so I don't want to make the same mistakes with charging my battery as I did with the first one.
Charging:
Do charge the battery often.
The battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges.
Discharging:
Avoid full cycle because of wear.
80% depth-of-discharge recommended.
Re- charge more often. Avoid full discharge.
Low voltage may cut off safety circuit.

that is very true......i get better life (3days) when i charge from 50%. otherwise i barely get more than 24hr.
thanks, that helps a lot! but what do I do once the battery has finished fully charging on the charger? should I take it off or is it fine to still leave it on the charger?
i have noticed this today,
i have installed a battery indicator bar (i cant remember which one) i charged my my X1 during night, when i woke up, i found that the phone is not charging and the battery is full. so i think that the phone automatically stopps charging when the battery reaches 100%
anyone can confirm that?
Not sure about the way to charge it, but i can comment on your current battery life. when i got mine, i had 1 days battery life, but after flashing it, i'm now getting between 3-4 days......

Glad to see that there are people that read the "real" stuff (I'm talking about dogans), the batteryuniversity site is mantained by the very battery fabricants, so their opinions are the best informed ones, even if they might bias a little to keep the bussiness "healthy".
However, any Lithium battery should not be fully discharged -at least not often-, because the full discharge shortens their life.
Usually, good chargers do control the charging parameters (battery's voltage, current and temperature curves) while it charges and "know" when to stop, even if they really don't stop ever (normally), the go in "tickle" charging mode, to keep the battery "fully" charged.
Hope this helps.
The article on Wikipedia about Li-Ion batteries is quite informative as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery
It specifies the technology, the do's, the dont's and usefull tips in keeping your battery in good condition.
Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone can tell me if charging the battery from 10-15% to 100% its bad for my device? Also which recomendations you suggest for reduce battery damage on the device? Ive read about the li-polymer batteries and some says that is bad for the battery to leave it conected log periods of time, also other mentioned that leaving the battery till it reach 10-15% is good method for prolong its battery life, but imnot sure about this tips.
Can someone tell me some recomendations?
I know from experience, li-po batteries do not last if fully discharged everytime, meaning don't run it till it shuts off. I am charging in the 10-15% range. As far as leaving it connected to the charger, I'm not sure if thats bad. If all you did was use it while connected to the charger, yes that will result in reduced battery life due to it not getting discharged.
do i drain the battery before first charge? is it really necessary to do overnight first charge or 3-4 hour full charge will do? need to take extra care since it is non removable.
I know that's really un-educated but I'm not sure about those things as well ... is it good to drain it first and then recharge it, or recharge it at the beginning .. and is it bad when you take it off the charger in the middle of the process?
I know it depends on battery type. And actually what would make sense is just following the manual. Why shouldn't the manufacturer know?
Anyway, anyone with some knowledge on that, please help!
Nearly all cell phones use Lithium-based batteries, which should not be drained before charging. The "drain before charge" thing only applies to nickel cadmium batteries.
You should charge your phone battery as often as possible. It's better for the battery to go from 100% to 80% five times than to go from 100% to 0% once.
I have read several articles that state it is BAD to completely drain a lithium polymer battery so I plan to just keep it charged as usual.

I've heard the same info too where it'll damage the battery by draining it completely. Although, I heard that power management on devices sometimes need to be calibrated by taking the lithium battery to near 0%...it's that way on my macbook pro...not sure about phones.
HI All,
I have a new moto g7 power which supports fast charging.
I want to prolong battery life and maintain the battery for as long as i can.
The instruction booklet says to charge it with the fast charger supplied only.
From my research it seems that li-lon batteries prefer top ups and to be kept between 40-80%
Also I never realized that first charge should be all the way to 100% not sure if I did this, have I harmed the battery if I did not ?
as far as I know, lithium likes to be between 85% and 15%. anything below 15% and above 85% is potentially bad for the battery, assuming 3.7v is 0% and 4.2v is 100%.
