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!

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.

252529 2004-07-26 11:15:00 ahhh... my mate got it working again...

he did something with the battery. like facing north, pointing his little finger to the moon and pressing the on button while the charger was plugged in...

so uh... battery university... interesting read.

cheers graham.
