Battery life is a factor of battery capacity and battery drain. Any quotes that you see for standby and talk time assume ideal conditions. Most of us will never use a battery fully under ideal conditions the entire time. Using a phone in analog mode drains a battery really quick. So does leaving a phone on when there is no coverage. This can happen when you are in a building, tunnel, underground, or in a plane. In these cases, the phone will spend a lot of power trying to re-establish a connection to the tower. Therefore, it’s important to have a Chatter Charger for those times your battery drains much faster than you expect! It’s important to note that the age and condition of your cell phone battery will affect the length of time your battery will remain live. Therefore, it’s important to have a Chatter Charger for those times your battery drains much faster than you expect! If your primary cell phone battery isn’t giving you as much power as it did in the past, it’s possible that your battery is suffering from a battery phenomenon called “memory effect”. Basically, this means that if you are repeatedly recharging your battery before it’s completely drained, the battery will “forget” that it can further discharge. The best way to prevent this situation is to fully charge - and discharge - your battery on a regular basis. Having a Chatter Charger on hand will ensure that if your battery becomes fully discharged before you hoped, you can use the cell phone for another couple of hours. There are several things that you can do to ensure the maximum production from your battery: Never leave your battery in its charger for more than 24 hours. Doing so will shorten the life of your battery. Break in your new batteries. The best way to do this is by fully charging and discharging your new battery several times in order to reach its maximum capacity. Keep your batteries clean. Clean dirty batteries with a cotton swab and alcohol. A clean battery will ensure a good connection between your battery and its device. Do not leave your battery dormant. Generally, a battery should be used every two to three weeks. Remember to let your battery fully discharge. Protect yourself from being without cell power by keeping a Chatter Charger on hand. My charger shows that my battery is fully charged but it’s not working - why? This phenomenon is known as false peak and is a very common condition during first time battery use (or using a battery that has been discharged for several months). The charger light may go out after only five or ten minutes, indicating that it is fully charged when it is not. Should this happen, simply put the battery on the charger for about an hour, remove it and return to the charger immediately. The battery will resume normal charging and the charger light will indicate when it’s ready for use. This common phenomenon is another good reason to keep a Chatter Charger handy for your use until you get back home or to the office and have access to your charger.
