I have had the worst luck with new cell phones. I buy them, let the battery die, and then charge it until it is fully charged. After I do this it seems that the battery is so crappy. I have to constantly charge my new phone and the battery only lasts less then 10 hours. I need help!!! If anyone knows how long you should charge a new cell phone battery the first time you charge it, please share your advice!! Thanks.

BTW - the phone I just got was the Fusic by LG. It has TV and an MP3 player. How am I supposed to use all of the features if I can't even get the phone to last a few hours?? The only thing I really use my phone for is text messaging and very limited talking. I don't understand why the battery is dying after doing hardley anything.

lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory like the old nickel hydrate ones do.
you should get standerd 2-3 hours talk time and about 2 days stand-by. if you are on your phone texting for 2-3 hours your battery should be about dead.

I would suggest that you get a new battery...usually battery that comes to a new cellphone is no longer guaranteed will last longer..battery has life when not charge the cell inside will discharged from itself, its really a battery life cycle.

When you buy new battery check the date when it was manufactured. new batteries when installed to a new phone it has a 2 bars indicator to be displayed.

Remember you don't want to let the battery die everytime before you charge. I myself, charge my phone every night when I do alot of texting/internet use and when on normal phone drainage... every other night. When you get a new battery I was told by my service provider to let a new battery charge for 24 hours.
