Which one of these phones has the best battery lif...

I am going to get a Nokia phone from "O2" store tomorrow. I will either get the Nokia 2700, Nokia 5130 or the Nokia 3120.
The dying Nokia that I am replacing I have had since 2005 and the battery usually lasted over a week between charges. The phone was an inexpensive one, €60 or something. I expect this kind of performance in my new phone.
Which of these phones have the best battery life?

I would vote for 5130 XpressMusic. 5130 and 2700 are on par in terms of battery life. Feature-wise, the former is a tad better. But, it's all about your preference, and the cost.

New iPod Nano... How to get best battery life?

Hi there. I just got a new iPod Nano. What is the best way to get the best battery life? I know there is a partial charge on the iPod already (it turns on and the batter meter shows it approx. 2/3 full). Should I plug it in a fully charge it first? Should I put some songs on it and fully drain the battery and then fully charge the battery and then fully drain it again?
How can I get the best battery life out of it? Are there any Apple documents to explain how?
Thanks,
Keith

There are documents, there are theories, there is folklore, there are opinions. I'll give you my opinions (but they are based on a fair amount of research and experience). The type of battery used in the iPod has a useful lifespan of between 3 to 5 years, and can be completely charged/discharged between 300 to 500 times. If you charge it totally, discharge 1/2, charge to full again, and discharge 1/2, this only counts as 1 total discharge, so don't worry about running it all the way down, etc.
You can leave it plugged in all the time if you want, because it's smart enough to stop charging when it's full. You can recharge whenever you want based on what I stated above.
Is there any advantage to running it all the way down and back up? There is an Apple KB document that suggests getting "exercise" like this is good for the battery on a monthly basis. Several people here swear by that, but when I have asked, the only source they usually give is the Apple article, or things based on that article. I've not seen this claim independently stated.
What is true is that you may need to let it run all the way down occasionally to keep the battery meter calibrated, but this has nothing to do with the actual condition or health of the battery.
Also, it's bad to let the battery run all the way down and then remain that way for a long period of time. Plus, if you plan to store this type of battery for an extended period (i.e. for a month or more) then the optimum charge seems to be around 60% of full, although it would gradually trickle down from that over time. Also, don't get it too hot as that's bad for it.
Is that way more than you wanted to know?

X230 Best Battery Life

Hi, I've been looking around for a laptop with the best battery life on the market and I've read the ThinkPad x230 ( http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/thinkpad/x-series/x230/ ) has a quite high battery life, I was wondering how to achieve that, on this site here; http://blog.laptopmag.com/all-day-strong-longest-lasting-notebooks it says it can achieve even up to 20 hours and 46 minutes with a 9 cell battery and sheet batteries, so I've looked around for the 9 cell battery on your website and I found out it can be ordered with the laptop or separately so that's not a problem but the problem is with the battery sheet, as far as I am aware, the only one that supports the inbuilt battery is the 6 cell battery sheet here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-76758 but I am still unsure how it all works, if I got the 6 sheet cell battery along with the 9 cell battery with the laptop would they somehow combine their battery life and work as one and when I charge the battery sheet would it charge both of the batteries and indicate the level of both on the battery sheet? will it really achieve 20 hours of battery life without me having to change any settings in the laptop to draw power from another power source (if i left the laptop on and unattended)? I'm really looking forward to buying this laptop if the batteries join and work as one and can get up to 20 hours of battery life.

By looks and personal observation it is a slice battery. but it is called an external battery, not sure why. It is exactly the same thing as a slice battery.
The two batteries together should get a high number of hours. I am not sure of exact hours though. with a light load as you have said I'm sure it will not die for some time. Exact hours are hard to determine without testing it. Unfortunately I don't have a slice battery.
I think it will be a great tool for traveling. It is light, fast and has a long battery life.
I hope this helps,
Alex

Iphone; best practice for better battery life

Okay, I've searched other threads and can't really find anything definitive on all this. I've found my battery life to be disappointing; I can go one and a half days without wi-fi or bluetooth turned on before it turns off.
1) Is it true that when I press and hold the 'home' key while in an application the application 'quits.' If so, is this more likely to save battery life? Does an application ever really 'quit?' It strikes me that it doesn't.
2) If move from safari to home without quitting is that safari page still loading, and thus sucking up battery life ?
3) If I hold the sleep and home keys at the same time I am able to turn off my iphone. What is the advantage of doing this at all? Has anyone experimented with turning the phone off at night? If so, has anyone noticed a better battery life? Is the iphone even meant to be turned off?
4) Should I be turning off the iphone to charge it once in a while; the other threads I've read seem to indicate no, however, I thought I would open this up again.

I believe you directed this at me: I called them...I do not have an apple store within a reasonable distance. They sent the loaner phone in a box, waived my rental fee. I sync my phone took out the sim card and put it in the loaner phone, syncd the loaner phone and had all my stuff. put my phone in the box, fed ex picked it up the next day. I tracked it on the apple repair site, it said they were running diagnostics that same day and the next the web site said replacement phone sent and it got to me in a brand new nice little apple box like the original, only smaller. None of the accessories were sent in or replaced. Hope that answers your question.
Good Luck!

I have the 13" Late 2011 Macbook Pro, What are the best Battery Life saver/increaser Techniques?

Specs-
2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
intel HD 3000 384 MB
How can I prevent My battery from degrading or atleast make the degrading slower
Can Ya tell me the steps or things to do?
I use my Mac a lot, like 6-15 hours everyday.
Someone told me I should keep it plugged with decharging it fully once a week.
is it true?
Can anything else be done?

You can use it on battery almost full time. It will slowly discharge to about 95% on AC, but then recharge after dropping below 95%. This is to save the use of the recharge circuits.
You should use it on battery only down to 40% at least once per month. Running it to dead will shorten battery life, not help.
The battery is rated to 1000 cycles. Two recharges from 50% to full is 1 cycle, 3 recharges from 33% to 100% is 1 cycle, etc ...
If you plan to store it unused for 3 months, discharge the batery to 50%, then remove from the MBP to preent the battery going down to 0.

Best Battery Life

This thing is absolutely awesome!
I work from 7am to about 5pm (but only 5 days a week thankfully at a factory.
As you can imagine, it gets extremely boring and tedious. Especially with only two half hour breaks through the day.
I had purchased a iRiver a while back as it was the only player available here that I could tuck away inside my earmuff (^_~)"
I eventually gave up on it though as it was uncomfortable with the player not being small enough still.
I just got myself a iPod Shuffle Gen2 not long ago and WOW!
1st off the thing is so tiny I don't even notice it's there. It sounds great, and at about half the price of the iRiver but double the memory I'm pretty happy as you can image.
But then, as if things couldn't get any better, the battery life on this thing is unbelievable! The iRiver would go nonstop from 7am til 3pm then die. The iPod goes from 7am to.... well it hasn't died so I'm not sure, but it was still playing after 6pm!
Great work Apple, I regret not having purchased any Apple products before now, and am now a huge fan.

Power Manager Setting To Preserve Battery Life When Using A Docking Station

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 which is about 19 months old. When at work, the computer is in a Lenovo docking station. At the end of the day, it is removed and any further evening use is typically on the battery.
Yesterday, the battery symbol in the tray at the bottom of the screen displayed a red X on it and indicated that there was an "error". I presume from this that that battery is dead and needs to be replaced. I am surprised by the comparatively short life of this battery.
I was thinking that perhaps the use of the powered docking station played some role in shortening the battery's life. For example, it may have repeatedly overcharged the battery.
Is there a Power Manager setting that will reduce the likelihood that the battery is being overcharged while in the docking station? In the future, is it feasible to simply remove the battery before inserting it into the docking station so that this won't continue to occur?
Thank you.
(I did a search of the community's knowledgebase, but didn't find anything on point.)

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that battery of your Lenovo ThinkPad X220 had undergone wear and tear and has to be replaced.
Capacity of a battery declines as the battery ages, with the number of charge cycles and time at high temperature. Under average usage patterns your battery maintains approximately 70% of its power capacity after the first year of operation.
Most laptops today use lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Overcharging Li-ion batteries is not a problem and does not affect the battery life span. These batteries have an internal circuit to stop the charging process at full charge. This is why the Li-ion batteries are more expensive. The only way for the Li-ion battery to overcharge is if the charging system malfunctions, and then the battery will heat up while in the charger. Older laptops use Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. They require more maintenance than Lithium Ion batteries. They must be fully discharged and then fully recharged so that they don't lose battery life.
Refer this document to see the tips on how to increase the battery life.
Hope this provided enough clarity for your query!
Best regards,
Mithun.

When/how to charge the iPhone for optimal battery life?

I have an iPhone 3G 8GB. I was just wondering what the best way to go about charging the iPhone is, in order to optimise the battery life?
Should you wait until the iPhone is really flat/ low battery and then charge it up full, or are smaller and more frequent 'shallow' charges healthier?
I also heard somewhere that every couple of months or so it is a good idea to let the battery run completely dead and then charge it up, in order to calibrate it or something... but that doing this too often could be detrimental.
Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I should let my iPhone run really low before charging it or if smaller more frequent chargers are the way to go.
Thanks!

Thanks! I did read over that and have taken the steps mentioned and fiddled around with settings of my phone to optimise use. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything else to add about charging habits specifically and what works best... I think mainly I'm just being paranoid about my phone dying prematurely since it's the first time I've owned such an expensive gadget!
Also, can you overcharge it? Is it bad to leave it on the charger overnight? I've done some searching in other threads/ webpages and there seems to be some discrepancies but for the most part people seem to think that it will be fine?

Fix for iPhone Battery Life

Hi, I have done this with IOS 5 through 6 and it works.
I have done this serveral times with my phone, as battery life decreases. I have not figured out what is the original cause of my battery problems, but every now and again, something starts to dain my battery at a rappid rate, in an hour or two. This is the fix to reset it.
1 - Back up you phone to iTunes
2 - Go into the settings under General and at the bottom sellect Reset and reset your iPhone erassing all data.
3 - Once it resets and shows you the default "out of the box" screan, power it off
4 - Recharge it FULLY.... I leave it over night.
5 - Power it on again
6 - Restore your settings via iTunes.
7 - Your done
In my experiance, if you skip any of the steps, like not powering off when your recharge or not recharging fully, will result in it still draining quickly.
Hope this works for you.

Thanks JJT2122 !

Which is better for the battery life?

Should I keep the charger plugged in constantly or use up all the battery life and charge only when the battery life is near 0% and charge until full?
I want to keep the battery life as long as possible. Thank you!

Should I Run off AC or Battery for max battery life?

I've read so many different theories on extending your battery life, I was wondering what is the most optimal setup to ensure a long battery life:
1) If I'm using my laptop at home on a desk, is it better to keep my laptop plugged into the AC battery charger even at 100%? (i.e. Will the battery know to stop charging and will my laptop just be running off the AC current or will it constantly be overcharging my battery and draining the lifecycle)?
Thanks for any help here.

Also, I did check apples site but didn't find this answer here: http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/
This website lead me to believe it's better to run off AC, but it's not written by apple, so not sure if it's accurate: http://www.quora.com/Will-running-my-MacBook-Air-while-plugged-in-improve-its-ba ttery-life

IOS 7.1 worse than 7 for 4s battery life

I took the bait on this latest update in hopes it would address some of the problems 4s users like myself have experienced. Unfortunately the low battery warning occurs much faster now. Locations services is off. Cellular Data is minimized as much as possible. I wouldn't dare use the GPS without external power. Version 7's difficult to read calendar and poor battery life were challenging. Now the challenge is bigger. This was a highly functional phone for me before v.7. I hope something can be done to help with this problem, because the community isn't exactly endorsing a phone upgrade as a reliable solution.

Thank you for the suggestion to use the Search bar. I wouldn't have thought of that. Unfortunately, I had already made these adjustments when iOS 7 first appeared. They helped a little then, but I would gladly go back to the pre-iOS 7 days if I could. I did disable the Time Zone and Usage features, but as my default mode has been to keep Location Services off to preserve my battery (because of draw of iOS 7), I can't see that untoggling these two sub-features will make any differenence. Leaving iCloud off doesn't seem like a reasonable suggestion. What is the point of the device if one has to disable so many features in order to be able to live with it? I can't imagine that was the designer's intention.

Best practice for keeping battery life optimal

I am in a job role where my usage of my iPhone 4S is best described as:
Weekdays: long call (60+ minutes) after long call (60+ minutes), etc. but MOSTLY voice calls.
and
Evenings/Nights: Use my phone occasionally, mostly apps/data/entertainment type of use.
So far, I tend to keep my phone plugged in while I'm on these long conference calls, unplug when I need to step out, or step away from my desk, but then plug back in for the next call, etc.
I plug in at night to start a fresh, 100% full battery the next day.
Should I do anything differently to get the best life (long term) out of my battery? Should I not keep it plugged in while using it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have to admit I never gave special attention to batterie on my 3 Ipod-iPhone and 2 MacBookPro and battery lasted for 3-4 years (even 5 on my first MBP).

Suggestion for improving battery life with Reminders in iOS5 on iPhone 4

I am experimenting with a location-based reminder, and once again the Location icon is permanently on and my battery is being drained. I'm not a programmer but I have a couple ideas:
Use the accelerometer in the phone to determine if it's moving, and then start looking for location.
Most people, when they're at work, are at work for several hours, so there's no benefit to polling for location while you're sitting at your desk. Perhaps the phone could learn your routine and know not to look for location between say, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Or you could have a setting to explicitly tell it not to poll during the week between certain hours.
This would make Reminders more useful. Also is there better battery management for this stuff on the 4S? Is that another benefit?
Thanks!
