ya this battery does seem to charge for VERY long time.... i almost thought it was only my phone at first.... i could leave it there easily over 2-3 hrs and its not close to being done??

Long, long ago we were always told that charging a battery slowly was always the better way of bringing a battery up to full charge. Fast charging seems to stress out the cells and shorten their life span.

I'm using the stock home charger (700ma) but my car charger is a full amp but that just gets used for short periods of time. I am adjusting my charging habits to this phone.

YMMV,
