[dba-Tech] Life expectancy of a cell phone battery

Hi Arthur

Yes, that's typical for a battery about to wear out. 
Just use it until you find you have to charge too frequently - then replace it.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Life expectancy of a cell phone battery

How long can one expect a battery to live? My phone is several years old now, and I feel no compelling reason to move into the modern smart-phone era. My phone has a browser and a camera and I almost never use them; it has some games, too, which I have never played. For me it's just a phone, and a calendar/clock. Hell, I don't even play music on it.

I digress. I've noticed lately that it seems to require charging more frequently, and it's certainly not because it's constantly in active use.
Is this an indication that it's getting to be time for a new battery?
