Nokia N96 first time charge?

[_Tom]

I've just had my second N96 delivered due to the battery being faulty and only lasting a matter of hours from a full charge with little use. When i first got the phone i did charge it until it said, fully charged, unplug the charger but it was only within 7 hours or so..Orange have mentioned 16 hours but i cant see it in the manual?

Whats the best plan of action for a healthy battery? Just until it says or ignore and keep it plugged in?

I didn't think it was much of a problem with newer batteries. I've heard some say they don't need a long charge, some say 8 hours, some 16.

When I got mine I left it on charge overnight at first and its been fine.

Well i got it at 9am. I'll leave it on charge until i go out tonight around 7..but really i want to take it out with me..

Should be alright, if its not just get em to change it again lol

Simple really, charge it until it says battery full.

Discharge is the key to begin with, then after 5-6 cycles chrange when you want.

Ok, ta. So is it worth taking off charge now to flat tom then fully recharge?

 

[Tom]

Yup, and get it as flat as you can.
