I hope training your battery improves its lifespan, but from what I hear the first charge is the most important, so possibly you could have already shorted it permanently... hopefully im wrong...

haha, I hope you are too. It's not like I got great battery life before on the stock 1500mah battery though, it was like 8 hours of life if I used it heavily. But I have bad service at home, it's constantly switching between EVDO and 1X and I'm lucky to have a bar on the phone (E815 would have 4-5 out of 6 nearly all the time). What kind of service are you getting where you are the majority of the time, because I think that plays a large role in the life of the battery? Even so, this is a major disappointment for $85, and if I return it they give out a BS 15% restocking fee and I'd end up paying for shipping and not get back the bank charge that Lion charged since they are based in Canada. It's not like I bought this thing from some oddball company, I read good things about Lion Battery before I bought from them.
