So I need advise for some reason I let my BlackBerry 10 battery die before I swap it, is that healthy or should i swap it once my battery becomes yellow I don't want to kill my battery lol but I usually change it with my battery kit

That's totally healthy!

When you calibrate the battery. You should let it drain, charge it to full, then let it drain again

I let it drain to the point my phone shuts off than I take my other fully charged battery and put it in and let my dead one charge

Like this - battery learns empty and full

I'm pretty sure that's not right, I've read over the forums that the newer batteries your not supposed to let get low/ die

It makes little difference with lithium ion batteries. The nimh batteries would form a memory. The chargers/phone stop the batteries from being charged

So once I get to 20% percent I should charge it

I think there was a post on here with a link to a battery website that after doing studies and what not, Lithium ion batteries are happiest at 50 percent charge. Leaving them at full charge and leaving them drained for long periods will have negative affect on the battery. Lithium ion batteries do not need any sort of "calibration" or such things.

Blackberry itself recommends that you a) not let battery run too low, and b) charge it for sustained intervals (i.e., not for 15 minutes, here and there).

And BlackBerry 10 has lithium battery? So I should charge my battery anywhere from 50% to 20% battery life?

When mine gets to around 50-40, I charge it. Luckily, this usually coincides with when I go to sleep. Easy.

[jaleelhamid]

So should ( charged between 50% to 20% according to BlackBerry
