Cool Re: Very effective way of increasing battery life (charging related)

there is absolutely zero breaking in for a lipo. The day it is created it has the HIGHEST charging capacity avalible and it degrades from there.

Multi-cell lipos (not used in phones) CAN benifit from discharging & recharging initially because lipo cells will discharge at different rates. periodic discharging the high cells and re-charging to balance the pack to an equal SOC rgeatly helps the health of multi-cell packs



this phone uses a 1s 1500ma 3.666C battery.
That means its a single cell (3.7v) 1500mah battery that is rated for a 5500mah current draw. to maintain battery life such a low quality battery should not be charged at more than 1c (1500mah).
