| 252527 | 2004-07-25 06:57:00 | okay, it didn't explode but i definitly killed it . It wont turn on when the sim card is in, and when i on it without the simcard it says "battery low" This happened cos i left the charger in it all night, which i used to do with my 5110 . Obviously these phones dont turn the charge off automatically so . . . bum . So yeah, it wont even charge now, so now ive learnt my lesson, im gonna ditch this li-ion bs, and get me a real battery . Nickel metal hydride . . . mmm, doesnt it sound nicer? so just a warning to others . . . WATCH YOUR PHONE WHILE ITS CHARGING! willie_M |

| 252528 | 2004-07-26 04:51:00 | LiIon do need special charging. ;-) So do NiMH. So do NiCd, and lead-acid. :D Battery University (http://www.batteryuniversity.com/) is a very good online book. A Compaq Presario 1230 I bought a while ago has a dead NiMH battery, but Google tells me that I can use an LiIon without any problems. There's more room for a clever charger in a laptop. |
