I previously stated that I ended up with a longer battery life then may bee I should have, this is based on using the math presented below.
Here is some loose math based on the facts from Mr. Buchmann's website
If you optimally get 1000 charging cycles from a Li-ion type battery and you plugged it in twice a day to charge you should end up with approximately 1 year 4 months of life from your battery. as stated this is not exact and is based on perfect conditions.
I personally ended up with 1 year 11 months from my latest battery before it started to show the effects from aging, however i still did not have to replace the battery. this is a full 7 months longer than the optimum life should have been if you charge just twice a day. in other words i ended up with approximately 210 extra days over the optimum as stated above. So what did I do different?
My personal experience before this was to only get approximately 1 year of life from a phone battery. As i learned more about batteries i surmised that changing one thing could end up giving a longer battery life. This change was to leave it plugged in while i talked on it instead of unplugging every time it reached a full charge. This led to not plugging it in as often hence supposedly using fewer charging cycles and keeping the battery at a full charge as recommended. This change in phone charging habits may have led to a longer life by not using up so many of the valuable charging cycles from the battery but there is no scientific data to prove this.
Granted I could have had the increased life simply because of advancements in technology but with the aging process disability that is involved with the Li-ion type battery I apparently did not decrease the life of the battery by doing this either. The fact is i am still using the phone as an emergency backup with the original battery it came with. As of now it is 27 months old from the time i purchased it, this time line does not include the aging from when the battery was made at the factory.
The normal disclaimer "Your mileage may vary" is in effect here.
And lets be perfectly clear about this I am in no way recommending that anyone else do what i have done. I am simply wondering if anyone else has tried this or something similar and what is your synopsis of what you noticed.
I am looking for some credible facts to either prove or disprove this observation from my experience, if you know of any please post it here.
