Batteries won’t last!
I know this all to well. With all my phones from the Lg Optimus F3 to my Kyocera Risa. Every phone I have had, I get to know when the battery should just be replaced. I will talk about my experiences and hopefully it will help you when it comes time to replace that battery.
Nothing I say should constitute you going out and buying a battery but it will at least help you know if you might need to. It however is up to you when and if you get a replacement battery.
Shorter charge cycles!
This one is the first sign the battery, which has circuits that close off to prevent the battery from fully charging. These circuits help keep the battery from exploding or leaking and causing serious damage to you or the phone. It can show itself in several ways. You might find that you have to charge your phone up more frequently or that it says you have a full battery one hour ago and now it is down to half or almost empty.
Phone gets warm to touch while charging!
It isn’t uncommon that from time to time when your charging your phone the phone may get slightly warm due to the charging of the batteries but it gets warmer than usual. This is caused by the phone trying to force charge the battery to charge a cell that looks to be almost dead and it is trying to keep it alive.
Bulges on cell battery!
It isn’t always the case but if you examine your battery of your phone. I saw this with my HTC inspire 4g Phone, where the battery was getting a slight bulge and shorter charge and discharge cycles were happening.
Cell Phone Apps
Although I will remind you that even getting a new battery might not be cause of your phone not keeping charge. Some android phones use more battery life due to apps or other such widgets that are constantly be used on the phone. These tend to help reduce the life of your battery and it will not help if you battery isn’t dead or on it’s way out. You may find it helps for the small time but you will be back at where you left off. Before you consider buying a new battery, consider looking into which apps you might not need and remove them. This will greatly increase your battery life and your experiences.
