    My Z10 battery life was crap due to having used the PlayBook charger on it too many times.

    A quick swap later and no complaints...

    So happy to have user replaceable battery.-img_20150525_163822.png

    I don't think the PlayBook charger has anything to do with it. I have used the PlayBook charger on all my BlackBerry 10 phones with no issues. Maybe your batter was old. Shop BlackBerry sells the PlayBook charger compatible with BlackBerry 10 phones on their site. There are numerous threads on the PlayBook charger not doing damage to the battery.

    Fast charging a lithium ion battery not only gives you shorter runtime per charge, but repeatedly fast-charging them will reduce the battery's lifespan.

    As for the battery age, the two I got a few weeks ago from Shop BlackBerry appear to have a date code that shows an early 2013 build.

    That's an old build date. I guess they made too many batteries that did not sell. I bought my Q10 in December and the build date was may 2013.

    Yeh, I was a bit annoyed, but the life out of it is much better than the old battery.

    I also have been using the playbook charger for all my BlackBerry phones since discovered it charged my phones alot quicker. I really didnt care as my phones had swappable batteries. I have been using this method for my Passport for just over a year. I hope batteries become available soon as I will probably need a replacement one day. So far, no problem though (knock on my head)

    Blackberry Passport running 10.3.2.680
