Re: Horrible battery drain

I was on a 6700 for about a year. Roughly once each week or 2, the battery would last about 2 hours. One day, then the rest were normal.
Now I have a 6800, just added no2chem's kitchen. I found out with this, that my GPS eats battery like candy. Besides having the battery the guy from ebay used for a year. I just got an extended, NEW battery because of the drain, and an article I just read about L-ion battery life. They suggest capacity reduces to about 60% after a year.
Basically, if you aren't using a program, shut it off, it runs your phone.
