Re: Battery & Performance hacks - all cabed up for my friends

LION/NiMH bat's normally don't suffer from the memory effect its only the NiCd bats that do. All tho letting a LiOn bat drain down to near dead wont hurt it. I've been told just don't let it go completly dead as this can hurt the cells inside. I put wiki's below for further reading if anyone was interested.

LiOn - Lithium Ion - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery
NiMh - NickleMetal Hidroxcide - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NiMH
NiCd - NickleMetal Cadmimum(sp) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NiCd

Also, if your phone is dying FAST take it in to get checked out and have them look at the battery as well.

One thing to take into consideration is your signal strength. if you're switching between 1x and evdo often, it might be a cause of it.

try changing your radio to see if that'll improve and make sure you kill all minimized programs running in the background
