battery life dropped

Hi

The battery on my N80 used to last for a couple of days but now suddenly from when I take it off charge and don't make any calls or use it at all etc the battery is dead after 8 hours max.

Bluetooth is off, wlan is off, sleep mode is on.

Is there anything else I can do to extend the battery life? I don't want to buy a new battery and have the same problem 😡

Dude,

Is your battery too old ? If not follow a proper battery cycle -

- Charge it regularly with a standard Nokia charger (Preferably a slow charger)
- Allow the battery to completely drain, Use it completely till the last point
- Repeat this process for atleat 4 - 5 cycles. The battery usage and life will extend.

- Also make sure that the Standby Mode time is set to the minimum and display brightness not set to max.

- Cheers,
Ravi.
