Battery Optimization

I wouldnt have thought that in 2-3 months you need a new one unless it was defective from the start.

The BL-5C battery is very cheap (around �4 from e-bay"Buy it now"😉 and always available.

I found having bluetooth on when i wasnt using it drained my battery quite quick-do you do that? Also try and empty it completly and then charging it for four or five hours. Li-Ion batterys sometimes benefit from this

thanks very much both of you

The bluetooth issue is correct.

But the drain and charge method is not, Li-ion batterys do not need to be drained and charged,in fact keeping the battery highly charged can actually increase the overall battery life. (This was stated by the manufacturers when Li-ion batterys were first introduced).

For more info on this subject search the forum as there has already been a LONG discussion on this.

My bad im getting my batteries confused. Li ion dont have 'memory' issues so no need to do that... :icon13: for me
