Its quite an old topic to discuss about but I've decided to post some info's on batteries of mobile phones as I got several inboxes regarding the same... * +

1. WHAT IS NI-MH,NI-CAD,LI-ION AND LI-POL?ANS: These are battery types which indicates the materials used inside the battery.Ni-MH= Nickel Metal Hydride.Ni-Cad= Nickel Cadmium.Li-ion= Lithium Ion.Li-pol= Lithium Polymer.Among these types, Li-ion and Li-pol batteries are widely used in small electronic devices like mobiles, camera's etc. Li-pol is much better than Li-ion in terms of safety and capacity but price is relatively higher. * +

2. WHAT THE mA VALUE IS FOR?ANS: mA means milli ampere per hour. It indicates the capacity of the battery. For example, a fully charged 600mA battery can provide 600mA current continuously for an hour. * +

3. WHAT IS THE LIFE SPAN OF A BATTERY?ANS: No one can give an accurate life span of batteries as it depends on the usage of the battery. But technically a Li-ion and Li-pol battery lasts for 500 to 800 charge cycles(charge and discharge). * +

4. WHAT IS THE IDEAL SYSTEM OF CHARGING?ANS: This is a v important matter when it comes to battery life. If u want full efficiency from a battery, u must charge it when it is fully discharged. That means discharge the battery completely recharge fully time to time. This is the accurate charge cycle to ensure maximum operating time of a battery. Though in modern busy life style, it is almost impossible to maintain the above cycle but try to wait until it shows BATTERY LOW signal to start chargin * +

charging at least for 8 cycles for a new battery. * +

5.WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE OF CHARGING A NEW BATTERY?ANS: It is boldly published and strongly recommended by the battery manufacturers that a new battery should be charged continuously for 8 hours. Its really necessary to follow this rule to obtain the maximum life cycle of a battery. But let me focus on a fact here. Almost every mobile phone has an internal charging device and a voltage switching system... * +

When a battery reaches at the peak level of voltage in charging state, the system disconnects the charging line and shows battery full on the display. Normally it takes 2-3 hours to reach this level of full charge. Now even if you keep the charger connected for 24 hours, no charging current will reach the battery until the battery voltage goes down to a certain level. So, there's no point on charging 8 hours in mobile phones(at least I think so). * +
