The Battery on my Pro 2 is not as strong as the Pro. 20 minutes of talk, 10 txt and 10-15 minutes of browsing eats about 3 bars on a full charge.

I am going to keep track of the usgage & types of usage for the power drain.

I read that you shoud fully charge only a low battery. Also, do not charge the phone while talking on it.

I'm loving the battery life on mine. I'd think about getting a different battery if that's really the case with that amount of usage because that is pretty lame.

These phones use lithium ion batteries, there is no need to let the battery run low on a regular basis, that can cause more harm than good. So basically just keep it charged all the time. Now as far as bad battery performance there could be a number of issues going on with the phone but for the most part the common consensus around here is that the tp2 battery performance is alot better than the tp1

What? I just received my phone at 5:00pm I started paying with it.
THen I activated it and it had 2 bars straight from the box. After I activated it I've sent like 10 txt messages, 30 minutes of calls, you tube video, internet browsing..
Playing with it a little more, I ran three times the stuck pixels video because I have like 4 stuck pixels, well you can notice only one.. And I still have 2 bars.

Maybe you have a defective phone or something? My battery life outshines my TP by a landslide.

I remember when I first got my Diamond that a few people had worse battery life than others and the advice was to take it to the store and get a new battery -- which worked. Since there are no TP2s at the store, maybe try calling tech support to see if they will send you one ... worth a shot. Or you could wait until the stores are carrying the phone.

My touch pro 2 has incredible battery life! I've got 2 bars left at 8:20PM, took the phone off the charger at 9 or so this morning. On the Pro, it would have died awhile ago or it would have been put on the charger by now.

I paid $6 delivered each for 3 extra batteries from china, they work perfectly around 3.5 hours of heavy internet use/browsing etc....

My battery seems to do very well. Had wifi on for 3-4 hours this morning after I got my phone as well as using it nearly constantly configuring it and installing stuff. Only had it plugged in for charging for a few minutes as I hooked it up to my computer to copy stuff over onto it and the batter went from ~50% out of the box to probably ~5-10% as I just got the low battery notification shortly before leaving for work. With my 6700, it would have been dead after about 3 hours with a full charge if I was using it the same way.
